The doctoral student representatives represent all the faculties at Leibniz University Hannover and the Leibniz Research Schools which have been granted the right to confer doctorates. The representatives facilitate interdisciplinary and inter-faculty exchange on matters relating to doctoral studies. They thus contribute to further promoting a transdisciplinary, cooperative and international doctoral culture at Leibniz University Hannover.
