Committees of the Fachschafts' Council

In order to be able to cover the many and varied tasks of the Fachschafts' Council (FSR), the FSR sets up committees. These are headed by officers and have a specific, defined area of responsibility on which they work. As a rule, the committees are appointed at the constituent meeting of the FSR.

In addition, the FSR can set up working groups (AKs for short, from the german term Arbeitskreisen) that support the units in larger projects or work on an acute topic.

First-year committee

As the name suggests, the first-year committee takes care of everything to do with the start of students' studies. It organises the orientation sessions, which include info lectures, game shows and other events, and the first-year trips, which are always a good opportunity to get to know fellow students. In addition, the committee is always a point of contact for new students in our subject.

Networking of committees

The department for committee networking is responsible in particular for representing the student council at the student council conference (FSK for short) and the mat.-nat. student council conference (in short: mat.-nat. FK) and subsequently reports on the events at the meetings of the student council.

Master students and foreign students

When it comes to contact with students in the Master's programme and from abroad, obstacles can arise that are difficult for the student council to overcome. The committee should offer these students a contact point, improve contact with the student council and, if necessary, organise smaller events for them.

Committee for Revision Courses and C-course

The revision courses take place every semester for most Bachelor lectures in the fields of mathematics, experimental and theoretical physics before the second exam period. In addition to finding tutors, rooms and dates for these courses, the dissemination of information among the students is also one of the important tasks of the committee. It is also responsible for organising the C-course in the winter semester in preparation for the computational physics module.

Website committee

It is responsible for ensuring that the latest information can be seen on the current student council website. It is explicitly not the responsibility of the student representatives to create and update the content of the website.

Social Media and Public Relations committee

This committee deals with the social media channels of the student council, so it is responsible for digital external communication, among other things. In addition, this committee can also deal with the public relations of the FS in general.

Party committee

The Party committee's responsibilities can be divided into two categories:

Leisure

The committee is responsible for organising different events like the the physics party (usually called the Einstein party) of cocktail evenings. Sometimes in cooperation with other student councils. This means that the members of the committee are always available as contact persons and main organisers of the parties.

Also part of this committee is the regulars' table. The regular's table refers to a joint, recreational meeting at which someone gives a more or less physical lecture. Occasionally, pubquizes or PowerPoint karaoke are also carried out there. As a rule, a regular's table is held every month during the semester. These have to be planned and advertised, as well as supplied with drinks and snacks.

Academic Events

Part of the academic events are for example the lecture series. In the lecture series, lecturers and their working groups can present themselves with possible topics for Bachelor's and Master's theses, so that students have the chance to get an insight into different subject areas that might interest them. In the committee, one is responsible for the organisation and moderation of the lectures.

Private tutoring list

The student council offers a service to arrange private tutoring. For this purpose, there are mailing lists which have to be maintained and actively advertised, both to students who would tutor and to those seeking help.

QVM applications

This department submits the QVM applications once a semester, i.e. applications for money to improve teaching, for related expenses of the student council such as holiday tutorials, printers and Stud-E-Lab.

Offers of the student council

Some of these departments are also responsible for the organisation and implementation of student council support services, such as holiday tutorials, tutoring lists or BKV. You can find more information about the offers of the student representatives on the corresponding page.

Quartermaster

The Quartermaster is the person to contact when you want to borrow things from the student council, may it be the grill, stoves or similar. Thus, this person has a general overview about the student council's inventory.

Jonathan Büsching

Grievance box

The grievance box is to be used as an anonymous complaints office to the student council, to which one can turn to address problems of any kind. This also includes problems with the student council directly. This must be supervised in order to solve and address corresponding points if necessary.

Working groups

For some topics/problems that arise in studies and everyday student council life, a simple discussion at a student council meeting is not necessarily sufficient. If this is the case, the people who are interested in the topic meet in a working group that deals more intensively with the dedicated task on behalf of the student council.

The following working groups are currently active:

Statutes & bylaws: The Fachschafts' council physics/astronomy has statutes and bylaws for the FSV and FSR, as well as VDWO (regulations for the election of lecturers of trust). This working group is working on revising and improving these.
Professorial dialogues: In this working group, the members deal with passing on the concerns of the student body to the lecturers.
Fachschafts' council room: The Fachschafts' council room is a meeting and working space. The working group deals with the question of how the Fachschafts' room will be used in the future.
Laboratory courses: The working group is aiming to improve lab courses in the Bachelor's and Master's programs. To this end, concrete proposals are being developed with which the supervisors of the lab courses can be approached.
Teaching students: Since summer semester 23, the student council has had a teaching committee, which is available to answer questions about the teaching degree program and is the point of contact for problems of all kinds. The working group then deals with solving problems in the longer run. Responsible persons: Teacher training department
Women in theoretical physics: The working group deals with a group that explicitly wants to strengthen women in theoretical physics. They are discussing how exactly the cooperation should look like in the future.
Song writing: As far too few people know, the Fachschaft's council has a collection of songs that is unfortunately a little outdated. That's why the song writing working group has made it its noble mission to create new lyrical and excellent masterpieces and use them to fill physicists with sound in the near future.

Would you like to actively participate in one of the working groups? Then get in touch with those responsible (or with the student council) or come along to a student council meeting.
