The council consists of four PhD students that represent the four research themes. We aim to improve the interaction within and between research groups of HIMS and to help you in your PhD track. Moreover, we provide feedback to PhD and management in order to tackle issues that you might encounter. In addition, we keep you updated on available courses.

Furthermore, every other week on Friday, we organize a monthly Borrel for the PhDs and postdocs of the institute. The Borrels are held in the student bar, the Brainwave, where you have an excellent opportunity to talk with students, staff and colleagues from other research groups within HIMS. The institute sponsors some drinks at the beginning of the Borrel, so please feel welcome to join every other week on Friday!
