A working group for gender mainstreaming

In 2016 the vice-chancellor decided to appoint a working group to
make a plan for gender mainstreaming.

Doctoral Student Council

The Doctoral Student Council (Doktorandrådet) is an association of doctoral students under the auspices of the university's student union, SöderS. It works to represent the interests of Södertörn University's doctoral students, both across institutions and through a range of university leadership bodies and advisory committees.

The Doctoral Student Council also provides a forum to discuss common concerns and explore opportunities to promote a positive working and academic environment.

The doctoral council at Södertörn University brings together 16 representatives from across the university’s five institutions, five research areas, and a range of boards and committees, to address matters that impact the learning and working environment for PhD students. This includes raising concerns with university leadership and administrators, identifying development opportunities, sharing information to ensure it reaches all PhDs, and actively contributing to the best experience possible for doctoral studies at Södertörn University.

To share information about general PhD-related matters that you feel should be taken up by the council, please email us at doctoralcouncil@sh.se. You can also use this email address to share seminars, workshops or other opportunities that may be of interest to a broad range of PhD students. Send a brief description and any necessary details and we can include these in regular newsletters or email communications.

If your question or concern is specific to your institution or research area, please refer to your local representative.
