Dr/THS

The PhD Chapter board welcomes the members of the PhD Chapter to the First Chapter Meeting of the operational year 2026/2027, which will take place on the 30th of September 2026 at 17:30, at the PhD Chapter Hall “T-Centralen” (Drottning Kristinas väg 29). You can find the Summons here.

Please fill out this registration form if would like to attend the meeting and get food.

All doctoral students are welcome to join the Chapter Meeting, but note that you must be a PhD Chapter Member (that is, a doctoral student and paid member of THS, the KTH Student Union) in order to have voting rights during the meeting.  We will send a reminder email to all registered participants.

Motions to be presented at the Chapter Meeting may be submitted to board@dr.kth.se until 23rd of September 2026. The meeting agenda will be posted, on our website, at least four working days before the meeting.

Nominations are now open for the PhD Chapter Summer Elections! Want to make a difference, influence decisions at KTH, or just connect with fellow doctoral students? This is your chance!
Nominate yourself or a friend
Deadline:  May 17th at 23:59

Curious what the roles involve? Check out the full role descriptions.

Board roles are time-compensated, meaning you get that time back at the end of your studies, similar to teaching. Functionary roles are not compensated but offer valuable experience. The working language is English, and you don’t need to know Swedish. However, some KTH committee meetings are held in Swedish.

Voting will be online and open to all doctoral student THS members before the Chapter Meeting on 3rd June 2026, at 17:30 (T-Centralen). More information on online voting will be sent later.

Register for food at the Chapter meeting.

When was the last time you wore your traditional clothes, dressed up something nice to feel amazing, or to impress your date? What more to feel great about yourself while having a great time at once-in-a-PhD event! It is time to dress up in your traditional clothes or something nice, to showcase part of your identity outside of research and to celebrate the proud 45 years that the PhD Chapter has been active at KTH. Register here for your spot, register here for your plus 1s/Alumnis/Post-Docs, and we promise it will only be an amazing night of activities, fun, laughter, amazing photos, and memories. This year, we are going extravagant! So book a spot fast as we have very limited seats for this milestone celebration.

Tip: A traditional gasque of this stature usually costs more than 1500 kr. The PhD Chapter is covering a lot of expenses so definitely take this opportunity.
