Welcome to the DDLS PhD Student Page

This page provides information for PhD students in the DDLS Research School, including details on student representation, the PhD Student Council, and relevant resources and activities.

The DDLS Research School is a national initiative that provides training in data-driven life science and supports the development of future experts in academia, industry, healthcare, and society.

PhD Student Registration Form (PSRF)

As part of the DDLS Research School, all PhD students are asked to complete and keep their PhD Student Registration Form (PSRF) up to date. The form is designed to be completed jointly by the students and their main supervisor.

Please use this link to access the form and update your information when requested.

Keeping your registration information up to date helps the research school maintain accurate records and share relevant information about opportunities and activities with students.

The DDLS PhD Student Council

The DDLS PhD Student Council represents PhD students in the Research School and serves as a link between students and the DDLS leadership. The council gathers feedback, facilitates communication, and contributes to discussions on training, courses, and the overall PhD experience.

In addition to its members, the council works through clearly defined roles and regular meetings to ensure broad representation of students from different universities and the four DDLS specific research areas. Students are encouraged to contact the council with questions, ideas, or concerns, or to get involved in future elections and activities.
