The Graduate School of Medical Sciences (GSMS) PhD Council of the University of Groningen represents the interests of all PhD students/candidates enrolled within the GSMS. 

In order to achieve this, the GSMS PhD Council:

• gathers information from the PhDs enrolled in the GSMS about needs and wishes for further improvement

• coordinates with the GSMS Board and other relevant bodies in order to ensure that GSMS PhDs have access to education, networking opportunities, and tools to ensure their well-being
