New members sought for the sustainability advisory board

For the Nachhaltigkeitsbeirat (former Agenda 21 Advisory Board of the City of Erlangen) a new student representation (1 member + deputy member) is sought.

The NaB (Sustainability Advisory Board) is an expert body that advises the city administration and the city council on sustainability issues and makes recommendations in this regard. It supports the administration in public relations work on sustainability issues and communicates these issues to its own institutions and organizations. The committee’s goal is to support the city council and the city administration in the process of change with its knowledge and actions. In addition, its essential function is the multiplier role into the respective institutions.

For the work of the advisory board, members receive a lump-sum expense allowance per month of membership (€10) and a meeting fee per meeting of the NaB attended (€12.50). The deputies receive an attendance fee only if they officially represent the member at the meetings. They may attend the meetings alongside the member if the Corona regulations permit, but they are not entitled to an attendance fee.

The next meeting of the Advisory Council will be held on July 5.

Solidarity with our fellow students in Heidelberg

We, the Stuve of the FAU, would like to express our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to all victims and those affected by the inconceivable act in Heidelberg on Monday and wish them as much strength as possible.

Study conditions in the summer term

FAU’s plans for the summer semester are taking shape. The plan is to largely return to business as usual with comprehensive face-to-face courses – this means that the vast majority of courses in every degree program will be held in person. In this case, the right to hybrid digital connection will be dropped – but teachers will still be able to offer it.
Online teaching is possible – but mainly for formats that can be done better online than offline, that are innovative and of high quality. The individual decision here also lies with the teachers.
In every form, it must be ensured that teachers remain approachable and accessible.
Exceptions are made for international students who are unable to enter the country – no disadvantages should arise here. In addition, we will of course respond to possible regional pandemic outbreaks.
The lecture period in the summer semester begins on 25.04.2022 and ends on 29.07.2022.
More details can be found in this week’s Stuve News video, where FAU Vice President Bärbel Kopp presents a few more details about the rules for the exam period and for the upcoming semester (in german):

Call of the city of Erlangen: “Caregivers and Helping Hands urgently needed”

The number of corona infections with the Omikron variant is increasing rapidly. The federal government has indicated that staff shortages for nursing facilities and clinics are to be expected.

The city of Erlangen and the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt with its clinics and care facilities are therefore calling for volunteers to assist, if their professional training and current employment and living situation allow it.
