Doctoral Researcher Experience Board
The DR Experience Board act as the final point of representation and works to effect positive change on behalf of all doctoral researchers. The board is chaired by a Doctoral Researcher and members include DR Lead Reps, LSU President, Doctoral College Representative, Director of Student Influence at LSU, and ad-hoc members (based on necessity). The board represents the views of doctoral researchers at an institutional level by collecting feedback from DR Leads and conveying this to senior university staff both one-to-one and in large-scale university committees. The main role of the board is to:
- Facilitate positive dialogue and partnership between DRs, the Doctoral College and LSU
- Champion DR rights
- Consider emergent issues affecting DRs (such as received through the open DR forum)
- Respond to urgent matters affecting Doctoral Researchers
- Advise and make proposals to the Doctoral College Sub-committee, Research and Innovation Committee, and the LSU Executive team.
- Discuss DR matters within Lboro and wider HE

DR Lead Rep and DR Rep
Lead Representatives act as a point of contact for Representatives within each School and liaise with the DR Presidential team. They also keep researchers informed about various developments and changes. DR Reps represent and champion the views of Doctoral Researchers on your degree programme by presenting your feedback to those in a position of influence. They can be the first point of contact within the school’s research group for academic matters or guide you to appropriate university services and support.
