An important part of EAWEs mission is to educate and connect PhD students. To this end, EAWE supports the organization of a yearly PhD Seminar, with as main organizer the PhD student Committee. Next to this, the PhD committee also supports EAWE in other matters, and two representatives are also invited in the general assembly. PhD students that want to contribute to the PhD committee can contact the presidency or the chair of the student committee for more information.
