The doctoral students’ representative, or DOMB, helps individual PhD students with problems that may arise in the course of their research or employment. The DOMB is employed directly by the Student Union and is therefore independent, unbound and neutral. If you have any problems related to your PhD education, tiny or huge, contact the DOMB for individual help.

More information on what a DOMB is: https://www.dokt.chs.chalmers.se/support-for-phd-students/doktorandombudet-domb/
