ProV (Promovierendenvertretung/ doctoral student representation)
The ProV is an initiative by and for doctoral students/PhD students to represent their interests. It is an organ for all three doctoral programmes at TiHo (PhD, Dr. rer. nat., Dr. med. vet.) and, as such, can be shaped by all of us!
If you are interested in getting involved, please feel free to contact us!
What the ProV offers:
• Informative events and meetings for doctoral students
• Assistance with starting your doctoral studies
• Networking and exchange of experiences between the three doctoral programmes
• Interdisciplinary exchange
Information about meetings and activities is sent out via the official TiHo Docs email distribution list. You can sign up for this distribution list in TiHo StudIS (info.tiho-hannover.de/cgisbin/studis.cgi; bottom right under ‘Settings’).
You can contact us via email: ProV@tiho-hannover.de
