Content What is the DSS? What is our goal? Who do we represent? How do we represent them? Meetings Representatives Action plan for 2019 Questions and comments

What is the DSS? The voice of doctoral students Represents doctoral students in University administration through nominated student representatives The organization to contact when doctoral students need someone to speak up for them or when a stakeholder wants to know about Doctoral Students

What is the DSS? The community of doctoral students Offers networking, news and events for all doctoral students across disciplinary boarders Offers opportunities for all doctoral students to influence their study experience

What is the DSS? Founded in 2013 as a section under the Student Union (OYY) Idea came from UniOGS and students themselves Student unions are the official representatives of students, dictated by Finnish law and University bylaws Other doctoral student associations in Finland are independent organizations. Our collaboration with OYY gives us access to their networks (university administration, student societies, city of Oulu) and other resources (e.g. specialists, facilities)

What is our goal? To improve the quality of doctoral studies in the University of Oulu To make sure that all doctoral students are treated fairly and equally. To bring together the interdisciplinary community of doctoral students in the University of Oulu

The DSS… Proactively advocates doctoral students’ interests and well-being Promotes doctoral students’ awareness of their rights and their ways of influencing University decision-making Watches over University decision-making and doctoral training practices Fosters a sense of belonging and unity among doctoral students

Who do we represent? About 1219 doctoral students Different profiles, different individual needs, variety of backgrounds.

How do we represent them? Monthly meetings and active communication channels Collaboration among student representatives in University administration Collaboration with other stakeholders Events

Meetings DSS meetings are held each month In each meeting we will discuss News from student representatives Other issues concerning doctoral students … and decide what actions to take. Your participation is critical since it will allow us to represent students better Meetings in English. Skype-available. Meeting materials: tinyurl.com/dss-oulu
