Stand for the university elections
You can stand in the university elections on 14-26 October 2021. Read on to find out how.
In November, all PhD students at AU will have a chance to elect representatives to the PhD committees and the academic councils. Here are some good reasons why you should stand for election.
1. As a representative, you help to shape your PhD programme. You participate in making decisions about the structure of your PhD programme, for example.
2. You gain experience with the political system, get to know the university in a completely new way and gain valuable competencies.
In addition to elections where all PhD students can stand for election and vote for PhD committee and the academic council representatives, PhD students who are not employees of the university – for example, students employed by Central Denmark Region or industrial PhD students – can also stand for and vote in elections for representatives to AU’s board. If you’re enrolled in a combined Master’s/PhD programme, you can also stand for and vote in elections for your programme’s board of studies.
