Invitation: General Meeting
October 10, 2023

 

The Doctoral Student Network of HU is a registered association under the name HU Docs e.V.
On Tuesday, October 10th, our regular general meeting will take place in HGS, Room 144.
The meeting will start at 6:00 PM. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.


The meeting is open to the public, and attendance does not require prior registration. However, only association members can participate in the election or nominate themselves for the executive committee. Membership in the association is free, and you can become a member during the general meeting if you feel connected to Berlin's doctoral students. You do not need to be enrolled at HU. More information is available at https://www.projekte.hu-berlin.de/en/docs-en/the-association-hu-docs/join-us
We always welcome individuals who want to shape the future of HU Docs. If you have a proposal or wish to nominate yourself, please feel free to contact us in advance. It is also possible to spontaneously nominate yourself for the election. Serving on the executive committee is mostly enjoyable and provides valuable insights into Berlin and the university.


Agenda:
1. Report from the board on the activities of the past year.
2. Treasurer's report on the financial situation of the association.
3. Questions or remarks from the participants.
4. Vote on discharging the executive committee.
5. Introduction of new candidates for the new executive committee.
6. Election of the new executive committee.
7. Election of a representative for Circle U.


For the election (Item 7) of our representative to Circle U, only enrolled doctoral students at HU can participate. Circle U is a European university network, of which HU is a member. The representative is expected to attend occasional meetings. You can simultaneously be a member of the executive committee and the Circle U representative.

The HU Docs team is looking forward to seeing you!
