The AStA’s project funding supports ideas in the fields of art, culture, sport, science and education, and helps to turn them into reality – both in terms of guidance and financial support! The most important point here is that the audience should always be students at Carl von Ossietzky University.
If you have any ideas for talks or other events, would like to travel to a competition with your university sports team, or have a rehearsal weekend coming up with your student theatre group – please feel free to send an email or pop in during the AStA representatives’ consultation hours!
