Doctoral Students' Council of Gdańsk Tech

SDPG operates in many areas – from representing doctoral students and supporting them in matters related to education, to initiating scientific, cultural, sports, and integration events.

The main tasks of the Student Government include:

• representing the interests of doctoral students within the University and beyond,
• protecting the rights of participants in doctoral schools,
• providing opinions on matters concerning the doctoral community,
• submitting initiatives and proposals to the authorities of Gdańsk Tech,
• involving representatives of doctoral students in the work of the University’s collegial bodies,
• supporting scientific, social, cultural, and sports activities,
• creating a space for integration and cooperation among doctoral students.

The most important decisions regarding the activities of the Doctoral Student Government are made by the University Doctoral Council, which consists of delegates from individual scientific disciplines.

The current activities are managed by the Doctoral Student Government Board, and the doctoral student community is represented by the Chairperson of the Doctoral Student Government.

Within the DSGT, there are also committees and boards through which doctoral students can engage in specific areas of academic life.

Science, Integration, and Activity

• The Committee for Funding Scientific Events supports doctoral students participating in conferences and other scientific events within the funding program.
• The Committee for Cultural Events and Integration is responsible for initiatives that help build the doctoral community, get to know each other beyond the lecture hall, and develop interests.
• The Sports Committee promotes physical activity and carries out actions related, inter alia, to the Multisport funding program.

Doctoral students can also take advantage of the wider offer of Gdańsk Tech, including joining sports clubs or the Gdańsk Tech Choir.

Your Voice Matters

The Doctoral Student Government is open to the involvement of the entire doctoral community. Every member of the Government can run for program committees, and their composition is approved by the University Doctoral Council.

This is a place where you can not only express your needs and ideas but also have a real impact on the conditions of education and the life of doctoral students at Gdańsk Tech.
