While the AUPA general meeting was being held, a group was also elected to be responsible for the social activities in the recently established PhD building.
However, the new member of the board, PhD student Zsuzsanna Sükösd, reports that the work is already well underway.
"There have been activities running in the building for over a year already, but they have been arranged by the PhD associations at the university. Now we are a more independent group, although we still have close ties to the associations, and we welcome any suggestions for activities from PhD students."

A building for everyone

Zsuzsanna Sükösd notes that the international students, who come to Denmark without a network, have a particular need for a venue like the PhD building, but the new committee will make an effort to ensure the building has something to offer both Danish and international students.
"In the spirit of internationalisation, we believe it is important not only to reach out to international students, but also to encourage natural interaction between international and Danish students."
