The Graduate Institute attaches great importance to an intensive cooperation with the PhD students of the university. Therfore, the general assembly of PhD students elects annually in a secret ballot their representatives, one representative on campus Rheinbach and one on campus Sankt Augustin. The speakers form a link between the Board of Directors of the Graduate Institute and the PhD students of the university.
