Sebastian Schmidt has been the speaker of the PhD students' representation since last year. The representation, which has existed at the university since 10/2019, formulates and represents the interests of doctoral students.
That adds up to a few hours of "committee work", because the group is also represented in various committees at the university. But Sebastian Schmidt thinks it's a worthwhile and exciting job. Not least because the doctoral students' representation is a kind of interface between administration, students and mid-level faculty.
