Tasks and Objectives of the Doctoral Students' Representative Council
The doctoral students' representation is the representation of interests of the doctoral students of the OVGU. In accordance with § 18 para. 6 HSG LSA, it advises on all doctorate-related issues and questions, makes recommendations to the university bodies and establishes interdisciplinary and inter-faculty exchange. Through its representatives, it actively participates in the council of the OVG Graduate Academy (OVG-GA). The faculty councils have to give the doctoral students' representation the opportunity to comment on drafts of doctoral regulations before they are passed. As a rule, one member of the representation participates in the meetings of the Senate or the respective Faculty Councils in an advisory function.
The doctoral students' representation consists of two representatives per faculty. Substitutes are possible. The term of office of the members is one year. It begins on July 01 of a year.
