Doctoral Candidate Representation
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. On 5 March 2021, the assembly members elected the GSGS Doctoral Council for a term of office of approx. one year. The Doctoral Council is a self-governing body that sends representatives to various higher-level representative bodies, such as the Faculty's Doctoral Representative Council.
The GSGS Doctoral Council has regular meetings with the GSGS coordinator 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 in:
Geography
- Bahru Zinaye Asegahegn
- Sarah Luft (Deputy doctoral representative on the GSGS Steering Committee)
- Sarah Rabe (Doctoral representative on the GSGS Steering Committee)
Geology & Mineralogy and Crystallography
Geophysics and Meteorology
- Barbara Blanco (Deputy doctoral representative on the GSGS Steering Committee)
- Stephan Schlegel (Doctoral representative on the GSGS Steering Committee, deputy Geosciences representative on the Faculty's Doctoral Representatives Council since May, 2021)
Contact: For questions or comments the GSGS Doctoral Council can be reached via gsgs-council@uni-koeln.de.
