Doctoral Convention

About the Doctoral Students' Convention

According to § 38 paragraph 7 Landeshochschulgesetz (LHG) Baden-Württemberg, the Doctoral Students' Convention represents the interests of the doctoral students at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), it advises on questions and can make recommendations to the organs of the university.

All doctoral students accepted for doctoral studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are members of the Convention. The KIT Senate has decided to establish decentralized conventions of doctoral students at the KIT faculties. On March 30, 2015, the first meeting of the Convention took place at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering to adopt the rules of procedure and elect the board. The members of the board each hold office for two years.
