The BiotECs is a committee made up entirely of first-year Biotechnology students, which means that we all already know each other well and share similar experiences. Each period, we organize a fun activity especially for our fellow first-year students. One of our highlights is the Labjasborrel, a yearly tradition where everyone gets together to draw on their personal lab coats while enjoying a relaxed social evening.

Our main goal is to help first-years build connections with one another, create a warm atmosphere, and make everyone feel at home within the study program. It’s a great way to meet new people, make friends, and feel more involved in student life.

We also meet once a week for a relaxed meeting where we brainstorm, plan, and share ideas for upcomming activities. The work is very manageable and doesn’t take up much time, so it’s easy to combine being part of this committee with your study schedule. On top of that, being involved in the BiotECs is not only enjoyable but also a nice way to gain experience in organizing events and working together as a team.
