Survey on mobility behavior

An FAU-wide survey on mobility behavior will run until 22.12.2023. The Green Office would like to know: What means of transportation do you use to get to FAU and between FAU locations? How long does it take you to get there? What is going well and what should be improved?

You can find the link to the survey in an email from the Green Office dated December 5. The 10-minute survey is, of course, voluntary and anonymous. No conclusions will be drawn about individual persons at any time.

The more people who take part in the survey, the more meaningful the results will be, which will serve as the basis for a catalog of measures for the further development of mobility services and the framework conditions at FAU. In addition, this catalog of measures is intended to make a further contribution to climate protection at FAU and for each individual. Further information can be found on the Green Office’s mobility concept website, including information on data protection.
Everyone can easily contribute to improving mobility management at FAU!

Review Assembly of all students 2023

On 8 November, a meeting of all students (VaS) was called for the first time in a long time. To give everyone who was unable to attend an impression of what was discussed, we will summarise it here. Of course, we will also give you a small impression of what we have already been able to achieve.

The main topic of the VaS was “Student housing”. After some opening words by Joachim Hornegger, the President of the FAU, we invited speakers from 3 different fields who deal with the topic of student housing. Prof Hundhausen as a member of the city council and the building committee, gave us an insight into what has happened recently on the subject of housing in the area and what could be improved in the future. Peter Forna and Constanze Thuma from the Internationals Department then gave us an overview of how many international students we have at the university and what their housing situation is like. David Vadasz, spokesperson for the student representatives’ working group for housing in Munich, concluded the main topic. He showed us what is already happening in Munich and inspired us to take a proactive approach to the issue.

After the main topic, we moved on to the motions. We received 16 motions before the VaS, all of which we discussed and voted on. These included motions on the topics of discrimination, student housing, teaching at FAU, the canteen and much more. You can also view the resolutions and the minutes on the Stuve website.

We have already been able to address some of the topics in discussions with the university management. Covered bicycle racks have already been built in Nuremberg at the ReWi and at the South Campus in recent weeks. We have also campaigned for covered bike racks in the city centre, e.g. on Bismarckstraße. We have also started working on the issue of discrimination. In our next meeting in December with VP Hirsch and the Office for Gender and Diversity, we will talk about this again and hope to achieve something there. We have also already addressed the topic of oral examinations and will continue to take it up in meetings with VP Kopp and other discussions on the topic of teaching.

If you would like to contribute to one of the topics in a working group or on the subject of student housing, please contact stuve-sprat@fau.de or Stuve-vas@fau.de. We are always happy to receive support so that we can achieve as much as possible at our FAU.
