The General Student Committee
(AStA).
The AStA is the body of the student committee in which students continuously strive to improve the general conditions of studying and promote exchange between the university and society. Their personal commitment and energy make a significant contribution to student life at the university.
Alongside the Student Parliament (StuPa), the AStA is the most important organ of student self-administration at our university. It is divided into various departments, which are organized by area of responsibility. The AStA officers are elected by the StuPa.
We meet regularly in public university meetings, which are announced in good time by e-mail. All students are welcome to attend these meetings. Our meetings usually take place as hybrid events.

Department for Internationales
In the Department of International Affairs, we focus on ensuring that our university lives up to its name “European University”: Specifically, we understand this to mean making our contribution to projects with an international theme or organizing such projects ourselves so that international activities are further promoted at our university. Other initiatives include offering projects and content for international students, e.g. to make it easier for them to integrate and make contact with local students and to provide assistance with any problems that may arise.
Current projects:
eMerge: One of our current tasks is to coordinate the “eMERGE” project (on the student side with the other student representatives from all partner universities), the aim of which is to network different European universities with each other, both in the area of research and teaching and to encourage cultural exchange between students. To this end, we take part in the regular meetings of the eMERGE student forum (ESF). Further information on the universities participating in the project can be found at Link.
Model United Nations (MUN): Model United Nations is a simulation of a UN conference in which all participants take on the role of a country delegation to debate and find a solution to a topic of international relevance. Together with the Department of Political Education and the media team of the International Office, we plan to establish a MUN club that will meet regularly throughout the semester to debate in MUN style.
Podcast: Produce a language podcast with international and local students of different levels in the relevant language, talking about simple and entertaining everyday topics to improve listening and speaking skills.

We are Alexandra Osintseva, Annick Poirot and Hugo Mercier
