PhD Council
The PhD council is a group of PhD candidates from all parts of the Donders Institute. They represent the PhD candidates of the DI towards the board and management of the Radboud University and Radboudumc. They also organize al sorts of events that are very interesting for our PhD candidates.
PhD council activities
Our goal is to serve as support and contact for all PhD candidates. Amongst other things, we thus:
- Facilitate the day-to-day life of PhD candidates - Providing information, assigning mentors (DCC/DCN), answering questions
- Listen and help with problems and concerns of PhD candidates - E.g. supervision quality, amount of teaching, work-life balance
- Communicate with management directors, directors, PI's - E.g. strategy to finish PhD in time, organisation of meetings
- Organise PhD meetings - E.g. on getting your teaching qualifications, stress management, travel reimbursement
- DCC & DCCN: facilitate distribution of PhD jobs - Teaching and non-teaching jobs
- Organise social events - E.g. Movie nights, drinks
