Doctoral Council
The Doctoral Council is an association under the student union, SöderS, that works to ensure the presence and influence of doctoral students in decision-making processes at Södertörn University.
SöderS collaborates with the Doctoral Council to guarantee positions of trust for doctoral student representatives in the councils, committees, and boards that either make decisions or provide advice to decision-making bodies, regarding all matters of interest to doctoral students and their education. The Doctoral Council is also a forum to discuss common concerns and explore opportunities to promote a healthy working and academic environment.
