Steering Committee and spokesperson

The GSGS is led by a Steering Committee (Lenkungsausschuss) consisting of (term of office in brackets)

• three advisors (professors) representing one or two of the subjects in which a doctorate can be pursued within the Department of Geosciences (two years):
• one non-professorial academic staff member with a doctorate degree (two years)
• two doctoral candidates; one is an academic staff member (>49% contract, two years) and one has 'student' status (<50% contract, scholarship, etc., one year).

The spokesperson of the GSGS leads the GSGS Steering Committee, which normally meets twice a year. The GSGS coordinator is a consulting member of the Steering Committee, without a vote.
