PhD student convent
About the PhD student convent
Referring to § 38 (7) Landeshochschulgesetz (LHG) Baden-Württemberg the PhD student convent represents the PhD students of the faculty of mechanical engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The convent advises the leading institutions and gives recommendations to certain affairs.
All PhD students that are accepted at the faculty of mechanical engineering at the KIT are members of the convent. The KIT-Senate agreed to the adjustment of decentraliced convents of the KIT-faculties. The first meeting of the convent took place 30.03.2015 to establish the internal rules of procedure and to elect the managing committee. The members of the managing committee officiate for two years.
