The Institute for Philosophy has a PhD council (Institute Regulation, art. 16). This PhD council consists of five members and advises the Academic Director on all matters relating to the teaching and supervision of PhD candidates. If problems occur and a PhD candidate considers it expedient, he can always personally contact the Institute’s Academic Director. The Academic Director is responsible, among other things, for the quality of the PhD programmes.

The council organises activities that promote the exchange of experiences and ideas between the PhD candidates and the Institute. The members of the council meet at least twice a year - or more frequently in case of urgencies.
