About the Autumn Meeting and selection of the 2022 HYVÄT board

The Autumn General Meeting is an annual meeting of HYVÄT, where the new board for 2022 will be chosen. If you are interested in board membership, feel free to contact me or phd-board@helsinki.fi. If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to be a board member in 2022, please inform me before November 29th and we will elect you to the HYVÄT board at the meeting in absence.

The positions in the board include chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and event coordinator; among others. HYVÄT board essentially decides how the organization operates, what our goals are, and what kind of actions we take to accomplish them / what kind of events we hold, so the workload and commitment for board members and commitment is really up to the board members’ to decide depending on their wishes.

HYVÄT has also traditionally had quite good relations with the doctoral education staff at the University of Helsinki, and HYVÄT board membership provides great opportunities to affect and hear about the direction of doctoral education at the University. If you wish to shape HYVÄT’s future after a few long remote years, this is the perfect time to join the board :)
