The Advisory Committee plays a strategic role in ensuring the quality of the PhD program, guaranteeing that its structure, content, and training activities meet high academic standards and follow best practices. It also helps keep the program aligned with research trends, societal needs, and labor market demands, ensuring that PhD candidates develop skills that are valuable both in academic and professional contexts.
The Advisory Committee is composed of the Coordinator and at least five members, appointed for a renewable three‑year term. Members are selected from representatives of the Stakeholders (SH) and are nominated by the PhD Board upon the Coordinator’s proposal.
