The Committees

Head of Committee: Effy Grivas

As the name suggests, this committee is in charge of creating events and collaborations for the Maastricht University community, focused on both academic awareness of sustainability and student activism, but also on social activities and bringing likeminded people together.

We organize an annual recruitment period, published on our Instagram, at the start of the academic year, for opportunities to join this committee. However, if you would like to try to join during the academic year, or just have a great idea you’d like to share with the committee, send an email to the Head of Committee. They will determine if spaces for collaboration can be made!
