PhD Council
The PhD Council is a platform by and for PhD candidates at the EGSH. The Council was founded on the premise that the opinions, questions and issues of each PhD candidate should be heard and discussed. To this end each faculty or institute participating in the EGSH ideally has a seat in the Council by means of (at least) one representative.
The PhD Council members are key regular representatives of the EGSH PhD community who advocate the interests of PhD candidates and contribute to the organisational development of the EGSH. Council members also join the EGSH Programme Board meetings.
The current members of the PhD council are listed below. They will in turn act as the chair of the Council in the current academic year. You can contact the Council via the individual email address of the Council members or via the general email address phdcouncil@egsh.eur.nl.
