My interest to become a member of the board aroused last year, when I was a member of the activities committee and organized the small trip to Brussels and the big trip to India. I think, being a boardmember of Urios, gives me the chance to learn a lot and make new memories.

As the secretary of Urios my main tasks will be to maintain good contact with our members through the newsletter, Facebook and our completely new website (!!!) and to ensure that the cooperation within the board runs smoothly. I look forward to fulfil my role as a boardmember of Urios and if you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me at board@urios.org. Hopefully I see you soon at one of our events!

It is my responsibility to make sure that Urios will remain financially healthy. I will keep track of all the financial flows and administration, the accounting and ensure that my fellow board members can make use of suitable budgets.

Furthermore, together with my Short Exchange Committee, I will be organizing the short exchange trip. This trip will give students the perfect idea what it’s like to go on an exchange to a foreign university.

I am very excited to work together with the board, meet all (new)members and organize the short exchange trip! Please feel free to contact me at board@urios.org for any further questions, ideas or if you want to sign up for the committee. I am looking forward to seeing you at one of our events.

My first introduction to Urios was on the Urios Big Trip to India. There I got to meet the previous board, the members and the student association and decided to stay involved with Urios.

The main goal of Urios is to introduce students to the more practical side of international and European law. As Activities Commissioner I, together with the Activities Committee, will plan events for members and non-members. Every formal event or trip will offer a different perspective on international and/or European law. We’ll offer many fun, social events as well. Furthermore, we will plan the Urios Big and the Small Trip. I’m looking forward to meet you at our events and please feel free to contact me at board@urios.org for questions, idea’s, drinks or anything else!

Last year I already joined the External Affairs Committee through which I experienced I like to network and face up the pressure of time and challenges on the road to keep Urios financially fruitful. I am happy to continue to carry on the objectives of Urios to ensure that our existing relations and collaborations with law firms and other organizations remain stable and effective and to push our ambitions even further by seeking out for new and prosperous opportunities and cooperations.

Together with my fellow board members I hope to keep Urios a vivid study association, with whom our members and we can share the passion for these specific fields of law and to pass on and acquire new knowledge by, inter alia, events such as the NGO Fair and the Career Event I will be organizing. All together, I really look forward to coming year and hope to see you all come by our office some time!

My enthusiasm and interest for European and international law really unfolded during my exchange at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Moreover, during my Bachelor I participated as a member in the shadow team of team Erasmus in the 24th Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. This was also a very interesting and fun experience which aroused my enthusiasm for European and international law.

This year, I have the honour to organise two trips to MUN conferences and the fourth edition of Urios’ own MUN conference: URUMUN. MUN combines the fields of international law, international relations and debating and gives you the chance to meet students from all over the world. If you have any questions concerning (URU)MUN or if you would like to participate in our delegation to one of the MUN conferences, feel free to contact me at board@urios.org. I look forward to work together with my fellow board members and see you all soon!

In the last few year I did quite some stuff besides the study itself. I worked (and still work) on multiple committees and give legal advice at a voluntary organization. For this year, I was looking for the next step, which I found at Urios. I will be responsible for the organization of the lectures and symposia that Urios has to offer in the upcoming year. I see it as my mission to ensure the quality and diversity of the events. I will do my very best to show you what International and European Law has to offer for all of us!

If you have any questions, suggestions or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me at board@urios.org! I am looking forward to seeing you at one of our events!

Since I have done multiple committees with different functions in the past it isn’t very hard for me to put myself in the position of another. Therefore, when I was asked to become the Chair of Urios I was immediately very enthusiastic. The sense of team working, together with my skills in leadership, will help me and my board to continue the course of Urios this year. I am very aware of the responsibility and the possibilities I have taken on with this position and I will put all my effort into it. I hope, being the chair of Urios, gives me the chance to learn a lot and make new memories with my board.
