yDiv board and representatives
The yDiv board
The yDiv board is the „think tank“ of the graduate school yDiv, where we develop and discuss ideas, concepts and strategies. In addition to the speaker and the yDiv coordinator, the yDiv board includes representatives from each of the participating universities and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), as well as representatives of the doctoral researchers and the postdoctoral researchers.
