The Council consists of representatives of teachers/researchers, administrative and technical staff, staff organisations as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students. The members of the Department Council are elected every six years. The Council meets about five times a year and is led by the Head of Department and Deputy Head of Department.

The Committee for Research and Research Infrastructure is advisory to the Head of Department and is a forum for discussion of research strategic issues such as instrumentation, priorities for new recruitment, nominations, etc. The Committee for Research and Research Infrastructure consists of the Heads of Division, the Head of Department, the Directors of Infrastructure and a doctoral student representative. The Committee meets about four times a year and is led by the Head of Department and Assistant Head of Research (chair). 

PhD Council

The PhD Council aims to improve the work and study situation at the department, disseminates important information to the department's doctoral students and organizes social events for the department's doctoral students.

The doctoral students are represented in almost every decision-making body at the department and the university, and have therefore great opportunities to influence.

Collaboration Council
