365 € ticket – signatures for citizens’ petition

Since the beginning of last week, students in Erlangen and Nuremberg, initiated by AK Semesterticket, have been collecting signatures for the introduction of a 365€ ticket for students as well. 
The goal is to make the semester ticket cheaper for all students and to adapt it to the rates that apply to school students and trainees.
The request still needs political pressure, which is to be generated with the help of a citizens’ petition demanded by these signatures. For this in Erlangen about 900 signatures and for Nuremberg about 4000 signatures are needed. More information can be found here.
Provided that you did not sign yet you should catch up that as fast as possible.
Signatures will be collected until at least 06.05. from 10:00 to 14:00 in Erlangen on the Red Square of the Technical Faculty and in front of the Langemarkmensa in the city center, as well as at several locations in Nuremberg, including the WiSo, Mensa Insel Schütt, on Regensburger Straße and the Mensataria Ohm. If you can help collecting signatures, just contact us in the form.
For more information and current info follow the Instagram account of the AK Semsterticket.

Armaments research despite civil clause?!

Presentation on May 6th, 2022 at 6:15 p.m. Großer Hörsaal Bismarckstr. 1A (ER)

The FAU has a civil clause since 2016. So far so good. But how can it be that armaments-related research is still happening at our university? And what exactly is a civil clause? And (how) could armaments research be effectively prevented?

We want to answer these and many other questions in our presentation. We present the civil clause principle and various types of implementation, and classify the FAU regulation in a nationwide comparison.

Afterwards there is room for discussion on how things can be done better.

The lecture is dedicated to the campaign #FAUabrüsten!
