Faculty Joint Assembly
During the Faculty Joint Assembly (FGV), staff and students meet with the Faculty Board to discuss the current and future policies of the faculty.

Representative Council
The Representative Council (RC) is the participatory body for faculty staff and is part of the Works Council at Radboud University. The Works Council consists of eleven members and you can go to each of them with tips, comments or questions about matters in the faculty.
