TODOS General Assembly

TODOS is an interest organization that works to improve the welfare of all PhD candidates at UiT. We focus on two important aspects of PhD life: academic work and social life/networking among PhDs. Currently we are 6 PhDs on the TODOS board that work to provide help, assistance, guidance and education throughout your PhD journey. We are also here to keep you updated on your rights and obligations as a PhD and to help you to mediate if those rights are impeded. For more information have a look in our latest report (see attachment).

 

Join us to:

  • vote for three free positions on the board
  • discuss and vote for proposed changes to the TODOS statutes
  • bring up topics and ideas to be addressed by TODOS
  • get involved in the board if you want
  • just have some fun with the free bowling we are offering

 

Please sign up here or just come around!

If you have questions about our work or if you cannot join personally but are interested in taking part in the general meeting, please contact us!
