Committees

We currently have 4 awesome committees. If you are interested in joining any one of them, simply fill in this form.

Social committee

Coordinated by Ireri (Communications officer), the Social Committee is responsible for such regular events as drinks and simple activities (e.g. sports, movie night, board games), and the End-of-Year BBQ as their main event. Regular events should occur roughly twice per month (one for drinks, one for an activity).

Excursion committee

Coordinated by Mim (treasurer), the Excursion Committee is responsible for regular events such as half-day/day trips to attractions, activities, or events in other cities. Excursions should be organized roughly every two months.

Suusposium committee

Coordinated by Madeleine (Chair), this committee is responsible for the Suusposium, a lecture series/symposium for HPS & SEC related topics, possibly inviting students and lecturers from another school with similar departments (e.g. University of Jena). The topics of our last Suusposiums were: Suus Freudenthal and The Science of Music. For 2026, the topic will be “Science in the Media.”

Study Trip committee

Coordinated by Lucy (Secretary), the Study Trip Committee will take the lead in organizing the annual Study Trip, overseeing the logistics and coordination. They will handle key tasks such as selecting a destination (based on the presence of an SEC/HPS department, accessibility by train, and costs), managing signups, and booking travel and accommodations. While the Study Trip Committee manages the overall trip, each of the other committees will contribute by organizing relevant activities.
