Co-creating an inclusive student association

The VU is becoming more and more internationalized each day, and so are the students who attend the university. We want to create a better study association – one that is more accessible, inclusive, and better tailored to the VU community while keeping the values of development, professionalism, and sociality in our vision.

Challenge champions

Study Association of SBE

The Mission of Aureus is to support students in their need of development during their studies, in preparation for the next step after the SBE, whether this development is focused on a social, academic, career, or skills aspect.

Uniting the SBE community

We have translated our expertise into a set of tools that community members can use to empower themselves. We bring together diverse members of the SBE community to co-create solutions for complex and interconnected problems.
