<p>Dear PhD students at Fysikum,<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>The annual PhD council fall meeting will be held on <b>Monday
December 2nd at 15:30 in room FB42 at AlbaNova.
</b>After the meeting we will have <b><u>free pizza and
refreshments</u></b>! (no alcohol). <br>
The fall meeting is a great opportunity to bring any issues or
questions you have to the PhD council or to find out what is going
on in Fysikum and SU and meet fellow PhD students. All PhD
students are welcome!<br>
</p>
<p>At the meeting we will nominate representatives to faculty and
university
level positions. Nominations will go to the NFR annual election
meeting (see separate email from SUS) in which representatives
will be elected. So if you are interested about the organizational
structure of SU and the Natural Sciences department or want to
make your voice heard, nominate yourself for one or more of the
committees! The time you spent on any committee will be
compensated with an <u>extension of your PhD contract.</u>
Some examples of the decision-making groups you can be elected for
are: <br>
