AG Junge Lebensmittelchemie [AG JLC]

The Association of Young Food Chemistry (AG Junge Lebensmittelchemie, AG JLC) represents food chemistry students and doctoral candidates at German universities, food chemists in their practical year as well as those starting their careers. We are a working group of the Food Chemical Society (Lebensmittelchemische Gesellschaft, LChG), a division of the German Chemical Society (Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, GDCh). We aim to support the interests of young researchers, to encourage communation between universities and to make the profession of food chemists better known. Many companies are looking for employees who have precisely the skills of a food chemist but are not aware that the degree exists or do not know it well enough – we want to change that! In order to achieve our goals, we are constantly expanding our established information network and try to encourage as many students as possible to actively participate in the AG JLC. The Erlangen regional group meets once a month and twice a year all regional groups gather for a national meeting during which national projects are discussed. For further information check out www.ag-jlc.de/en.

The purpose of the association is to supply students and interested parties with background knowledge accompanying the lectures on topics of the stock exchange to provide insight into theory and practice of banking and finance. We realise this through an extensive range of contents, e.g. we offer a wide range of magazines for free (Handelsblatt, Financial Times, Capital, Focus, WirtschaftsWoche, Euro and so on), expert analysing tools (Aktienfinder, AlleAktien, TraderFox also for free) and events, like workshops with companies, certification lectures for “Börsenführerschein” and trips to the stock exchange.

There is a regular get-together at a different bar on the first thursday of the month and a meeting to analyse the situation at the stock exchange two weeks after the get-together. At the meetings we will make investment decisions for our club portfolio.

Our aim is to provide our members with basic knowledge to get a better understanding of the capital markets which enables them to make independant rational short and long term investment decisions.

Die Linke.SDS Erlangen-Nürnberg [SDS]

Die Linke.SDS is the largest socialist student association in Germany. We are organized at more than 60 universities nationwide and invite you to change the universities and the world together with us! The world is becoming more and more unjust and the climate crisis now threatens us acutely in Germany as well – capitalism can only fail as a system. Inflation has also exacerbated the social situation of students and is driving more and more of us further towards the poverty line. While politicians give us energy saving tips, corporations fill their pockets with profits. We oppose this together and develop ideas for a better future. We can only fight for a society based on solidarity if we work together. For this we need a strong socialist voice at the universities, in society and above all we need each and every individual. We are looking forward to you! Feel free to visit our homepage, follow us on social media, come to one of the plenaries of our local group and join us!

We are the first contact for all current and former FES members, liaison lecturers and selection committee members in Erlangen and Nuremberg.

A strong network of FES members needs our participation! In the university groups, we have the freedom to decide for ourselves what our involvement in the HSG can look like. Our activities are then organized by ourselves, which is why we do quite different things. For example, we meet regularly for a regulars’ table, organize discussion rounds on the situations at our universities and on all kinds of (political) topics. We also visit cultural events together or think about how the FES can become even more visible at our universities.

In short: In the HSG we get to know each other personally, meet in a relaxed atmosphere, exchange ideas, develop new ideas and plan actions.
If you have any suggestions or concerns, feel free to contact us or share them directly in the group.

Involvement in the university groups is diverse and possible at any time! Whether you are a new member or have been involved for a while, we look forward to getting to know you!

Journey to the End of the Night – Erlangen [Journey Erlangen]

The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a stranger’s signature. Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it.

For one night, drop your relations, your work and leisure activities, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the attractions of the chase and the encounters you find there.

Journey Erlangen is a race through the city’s streets. You will run (or walk) from check point to check point to your final destination. But be careful! Avoid the chasers and don’t get caught! If you do get caught — catch ’em yourself! Now your one of THEM.

Lehr:werkstatt e.V. [L:W e.V.]

It was created by and for both students and teachers from all universities taking part in the internship project “Lehr:werkstatt” with the objective of supporting it and driving it forward.
The organisation is thus taking on a supportive role for people and institutions already involved in the project as well as future participating parties. We aim to create an independent network of former and future participants and encourage communication both within the project’s realms as well as outside of them. As the project’s face and voice, the organisation also motivates communication with other parties of the educational sector and intends to act as a support association for the project itself.
The organisation offers a variety of advantages to their members, some of them being:
1. Monthly get-together:
The focus of these events is to foster the exchange between future and current teachers as well as other participants in the educational field. The members are offered thematic input in different formats, which serve as an encouragement for interindividual discussion of the topics being dealt with. The participation in our monthly get-togethers is optional, interested parties can join on their own accord, interest and free-time.
2. Market of materials In our market of materials, members of the organisation exchange different materials for their studies, clerkship or lessons in the
classroom. In the spirit of sharing, participants can thus use uploaded materials for their own purposes and simultaneously give back to the group by
uploading their own.
3. Other Moreover, we offer additional activities, events, workshops, field tips and alike. The topics tackled offer a wide range and are always fitted to the wishes and needs of our members.
