General assembly

We normally hold weekly general assemblies (“Fachschaftsvollversammlungen”) to talk about everything that needs to be talked about. The general assemblies are public, so please feel free to join us – whether just to listen or also to talk.

In day-to-day life, we usually don’t use the formally correct and unwieldy term “general assembly” and instead just call them “meetings” or “sessions” (“Fachschaftstreffen” and “Fachschaftssitzungen”, respectively) – “general assembly” has this notion of a really big conference, but most often, we’re between five and ten students.

When and where do the meetings take place?

All meeting dates can be found in our calendar, furthermore, we also send a mail containing date, time and location before every meeting. If you’re a Computational Linguistics student, you should receive those mails automatically.

We usually set the date at the beginning of the semester so that it overlaps with as few other courses as possible (but it can of course be changed during the semester if necessary). We usually sit in the sofa corner in the pool, sometimes also in the Café Botanik near the Zentralmensa. We also used to be in the Fachschaftsraum (when we still had one), on the beer benches next to the the Kirchhoff Institute for Physics, the concrete installation behind the institute’s building (when it still existed) and the internet. Since the middle of 2021 we have been holding the meeting mostly hybrid, so you can either come by physically or join us virtually.
