Elections

As student, employee or grant PhD you can join a representative advisory body to discuss the university-wide issues that form the focus of the strategy of both our university and your faculty or service department. During the elections you can put yourself forward as a candidate for the University Council or your own Faculty Council or Employees’ Consultative Body. Students and staff vote to determine who they wish to represent them.  

From 13 to 15 May 2024, the elections for the Representative Councils take place. This year students vote for their University Council and Faculty Councils.
