Special interest representatives
The Graduate School places great value on the personal initiative of all its (post)doctoral researchers. That is why representatives are elected from their ranks. BGHS doctoral researchers are represented by one student each from the history and sociology departments. Two Social and Cultural Affairs representatives and international doctoral researcher representatives are also elected. The term of office is one year.
Doctoral Programme
The Doctoral Programme Representatives are the primary contact persons for all doctoral researchers. They represent the interests of the doctoral researchers, attend the meetings of the executive committee, participate in the selection procedure of BGHS scholarships and mediate in cases of conflict.
