Doctoral Representatives on the GSGS Steering Committee

Since the introduction of the GSGS statutes (Ordnung) on 12 February, 2021, its doctoral candidate members are represented by two Doctoral Representatives on the GSGS Steering Committee; one is an academic staff member (>49% contract) and one has 'student' status (<50% contract, scholarship, etc.). They (and one deputy each) are elected during the annual General Assembly (see the page Organisation and the presentation on the structure and governance of the GSGS on the right).

GSGS Doctoral Council

All doctoral candidate members of the GSGS jointly constitute the GSGS Doctoral Assembly. The GSGS Doctoral Council is a self-governing body that sends representatives to various higher-level representative bodies, such as the Faculty's Doctoral Representative Council. If you would like to join the Doctoral Council please contact them via gsgs-councilSpamProtectionuni-koeln.de. You can join at any time.

The GSGS Doctoral Council has regular meetings with one of the GSGS coordinators to keep each-other informed. Watch the presentation on the right for further information.

For activities organised by the Council, please check the gsgs-wiki-pages.

The current members of the doctoral council are: 

Geography

Geology & Mineralogy and Crystallography

 

Geophysics and Meteorology

Contact: For questions or comments the GSGS Doctoral Council can be reached via gsgs-council@uni-koeln.de.
