The Doctoral Students’ Council comprises representatives of the participants in doctoral studies conducted across various faculties of the Poznań University of Economics and Business.

The Doctoral Students’ Council of the Poznań University of Economics and Business:

  • serves as the voice of the entire doctoral student community at the University and represents them before the University Authorities,
  • ensures continuity of actions undertaken on behalf of and in the interests of doctoral students at the University,
  • promotes activities and attitudes within the doctoral student community in line with the UEP Doctoral Student Code of Ethics.
  • Mission of the Doctoral Students' Council

    We represent the doctoral student community of the Poznań University of Economics and Business with the aim of effectively ensuring the best possible conditions for doctoral students’ study and well-being within the University environment. Acting on behalf of doctoral students, we represent their interests before the University Authorities and within University bodies, expressing opinions on matters concerning the doctoral community. In cooperation with the University’s governing bodies and administration, we support the integration of the doctoral student community, their academic and sporting development, and their social and living conditions. We also undertake consultative and informational activities to enable members of the doctoral community to function effectively within the University environment.

    In fulfilling its mission, the Doctoral Students’ Council is guided by the principle of SENS in the implementation of its activities, focusing on four key pillars: S – Community, E – Efficiency, N – Science, S – Sport.
    The SENS of the undertaken activities lies in the clear definition of their objectives, which are aimed in particular at integrating the doctoral community, supporting the academic or sporting development of doctoral students, while ensuring the efficient and responsible use of available resources.

  • Structure of the Doctoral Students' Council

    From among all doctoral candidates (doctoral studies at PUEB, MiSD GO, and the Doctoral School), 20 representatives are elected to the Doctoral Students’ Council. From among the members of the Council, a Chairperson and two Vice-Chairpersons are subsequently elected, one of whom serves as Treasurer and the other as Secretary, as well as representatives of the doctoral self-government to the relevant Rector’s and Senate committees.
