Computer Science Students’ Representative Council

Who we are

The Computer Science Students’ Representative Council, in short “Students’ Council”, is a body of students elected annually by all members of the Computer Science faculty. These students are eligible to vote and can therefore stand for election. You can see the current elected and volunteer members here.

What we do

The main task of the student council is to improve the study conditions. This includes organizing social events, such as the summer party and the Nikofete. We also provide a free printer and thought protocols of past exams. For first-year students, we offer introductory events every semester.
Another task of the Student Council is to represent the interests of the student body in various committees. These include, for example, the faculty council and the examination boards of the various courses of study.

Meetings

The Students’ Council meets weekly during the semester to discuss these issues. Every student is welcome to join the meetings, be it to discuss questions or problems or to get information about current topics and events of the Council. You can find more information about the current meeting dates in the sidebar on the right.

After meetings we publish minutes where topics discussed are summarised.

Study programs we represent

We represent the following Computer Science majors in the MI faculty:

• Bioinformatics
• Computer Science & Informatik
• Cybersecurity, Cybersicherheit & Entrepreneurial Cybersecurity
• DSAI (Data Science and Artificial Intelligence)
• Embedded Systems, Eingebettete Systeme & CuK: Eingebettete Systeme
• Teaching Computer Science (together with Fachschaftsrat Lehramt)

• Visual Computing

The following courses are represented by other Students’ Councils, but you can still contact us if you have any questions:

• Bachelor plus MINT → Fachschaftsrat Bachelor plus MINT
• Business Informatics → Fachschaftsrat Wirtschaftswissenschaften
• Computational Linguistics → Fachschaftsrat SpraWiTech
• Mathematics and Computer Science → Fachschaftsrat Mathematik

Get involved!

Of course, many events and projects also need many helpers. So if you’d like to help with Schwenken (=grilling), making crêpes, carrying around or planning stuff, etc., please feel free to drop by our room, attend a meeting or speak to one of our members.

If you would like to get more involved in committee work or would like to participate in our task forces in a more binding way, please feel free to contact us.

Elections

The members of the students council are elected annually. All students of the above mentioned study programs are eligible to vote. The election is organized by the department for student councils of the AStA. More information about the student council elections can be found here.

Structure

As a student council, we are made up of both elected and voluntary members. Elected members are elected directly by the students of the programs we represent in the annual student council elections. Voluntary members are those who have been elected by the elected members on the basis of their involvement.

Members join Task forces within our student council, which are dedicated to different tasks. The exact task forces vary from year to year. Classics that are of interest to students are, for example: Anti-discrimination, Busy Beaver, Social Events, Printers, StEP, Student Workspaces and Thought Protocols. For behind-the-scenes tasks, we have, for example, minute takers, social media and system administration.
