As a student of the research master you can join several committees to organize activities with and for your fellow students. Below you’ll find an overview of this year’s committees and their tasks. If you’d like to become active as a member of one of these committees, please email us to see if we have any available spots left. If you have any questions or new ideas, feel free to contact us!

Activity Committee
We’re here to make sure your Research Master years aren’t just about reading papers and running analyses. The Activity Committee exists to bring people together and add a healthy dose of fun, connection, and most importantly: distraction to your student life.
Whether you’re in the mood for a chill get-together, a themed party, or an amusement-park, we got you! We even organise a yearly study trip, and all sorts of other events that help you meet fellow students, unwind, and feel at home within the programme.
Our goal is simple: to create a sense of coherence and community among master’s students, so we can all enjoy the years we have together to the fullest. And as a Maizena member, you’ll often get sweet discounts on our activities.
We hope to see you soon at our next activity!
Education Committee
Maizena’s Education Committee is your go-to for all things educational, helping you channel your inner academic weapon. We organise events like the Career Day, lectures, and seminars where you get the chance to meet all kinds of (hopefully) cool professionals both from within the BSI and beyond. In other words: great networking opportunities disguised as fun events. We’re also here to broaden your perspective on what’s possible and support you as you explore what you want to do with your life (or definitely don’t).
Whether you’re curious about future career paths, eager to learn something new, or simply want to hear from people who’ve stood where you are now, we keep things informative and light-hearted. And the best part? All our events count toward your workshop hours.
Yearbook Committee
We are all about creating your ultimate memento: ✨the yearbook!✨
We collect and assemble fun moments, inside jokes, and the faces of our fellow students to capture our time together. Whether it’s reminiscing about unforgettable events or simply flipping through pages filled with familiar names, our yearbook is there to look back on the amazing time we’ve shared.
Audit Committee
This committee is often overlooked, but it is actually very important. The members of the Audit committee keep track of Maizena’s finances and check up on the Treasurer. They will do this twice a year to make sure Maizena is in a healthy financial position.
