Please register your candidacy as soon as possible in the period from Monday, 7 October 2024 at 9.00 to Friday, 11 October 2024 at 12.00 noon.

You can stand for the following bodies:

• PhD committee (all PhD students)
• Academic Council (non-employed PhD students and PhD students enrolled in the flexible model, part A - also enrolled in master’s programmes)
• Study board (PhD students enrolled in the flexible model, part A - also enrolled in master’s programmes).
• The Board (non-employed PhD students and PhD students enrolled in the flexible model, part A - also enrolled in master’s programmes)

Please note that all PhD students can vote in the elections.

There are four areas of representation for the PhD committee:

• Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (1 mandate and 1 substitute)
• Department of Environmental Science, Department of Ecoscience (1 mandate and 1 substitute)
• Department of Agroecology, Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (1 mandate and 1 substitute)
• Department of Food Science, Department of Animal Science (1 mandate and 1 substitute)

As the substitutes often participate in the meetings (albeit without voting rights), we encourage the PhD students to talk to PhD students from other programmes within their area of representation and e.g. create a candidate list so as many PhD students and programmes as possible can be represented in the PhD committee.
