PhD Council

The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts PhD Council represents the interests of all PhD candidates, internal, external, and otherwise contracted.

It consists of six members who are appointed for a period of two years. The PhD Council is the body elected the PhD community to represent the general interests of all the institute's PhD candidates.

The PhD Council keeps itself informed of the PhD candidates' concerns and any relevant matters within the institute, Leiden University, and the academic world in general. The PhD Council advises the institute's Academic Director, on its own initiative as well as at the institute's request, on all matters relating to the teaching and supervision of its PhD candidates.

Another PhD Council's objective is to increase and maintain the social cohesion and collaboration within the institute's PhD student community. To this end, the Council can organise activities that promote the exchange of knowledge, skills, experiences, and ideas among the PhD candidates.

It meets regularly with the Management Team and has a representative seated on the Advisory Board. The ACPA PhD Council meets regularly with the other PhD Councils of the Faculty of the Humanities. It keeps in contact with PhDoc, the PhD representative party in the University Council.
