Jönköping University's Doctoral Student Council is an elected body of doctoral representatives from each school established in April 2020 by the President’s decision § 867. 

About us

JU Doktorandråd (JU Doctoral Student Council) was constituted in the summer of 2020. As a dedicated body comprised of elected doctoral student representatives from all four schools at Jönköping University (JU), this council works to help the doctoral students organize themselves and become an active part of JU. To increase doctoral students’ presence in different forums within the university, the council also nominates elected doctoral representatives to the Board of Education and Research Education (Nämnden för Utbildning och Forskarutbildning-NUF) and the Strategic Council for Research (Strategiska Rådet för forskning- SRF).

Board members

The council board consists of 8 elected representatives (2 from each school) and 4 substitute members who then elect a chairperson of the board and 2 representatives for the Strategic Council for Research and Board of Education and Research Education. Following the annual election, the board is officially appointed by the President of the university for a tenure of 1 year.
