Doctoral Council

We are doctoral candidates ourselves at the University of Lübeck and represent you to all relevant stakeholders - from your supervisors to the Executive Board.

We support you in matters relating to your doctorate, promote networking among doctoral candidates through events and projects and participate in all important decisions on doctoral matters.

Among other things, we delegate members to the Senate and Senate committees and are in regular dialogue with the CDSL and the President's Office.
