PhD Council

The PhD Council is a team of six doctoral researcher representatives from the DKFZ. Members of the PhD Council are elected by all DKFZ doctoral researchers in October/November of every year.

The main responsibilities of the PhD Council are:

  1. Representing the DKFZ doctoral researcher community and our common interests and rights;
  2. Acting as the official liaison between the Doctoral Researchers community and the administrative and scientific executive boards;
  3. Coordinating the PhD Teams (see more under "PhD initiatives") to support various activities for doctoral researchers, including the PhD retreat, social events and parties, welcome the newcomers and engage with the DKFZ in communication.

We also aim at fostering scientific and social interaction not only among the ~ 550 doctoral researchers at the DKFZ but also with other institutes in Heidelberg and other Helmholtz centres all over Germany (check Helmholtz Juniors webpage).


This would not be possible without our very active and dedicated PhD Teams! If you would like to join us in our initiatives or at any time you think working conditions or education can be improved, let us know by sending an email to phd-council@dkfz.de.
