One of the main tasks of a student council is to participate in educational boards, both on the faculty, university and level. Each semester you have the possibility to elect representatives for the “Fakultätsräte” (boards of the faculties) and the senate, from these boards representatives for subcommitties like the board of study of the various majors are delegated.
In the following you can find the people that are currently holding positions in a variety of boards.
For issues concerning boards where no email-contact adress is given please consider writing to the joint mailinglist of the studentcouncil , the responsible person will read the mail and respond to you.
Students Parliament
Every student council sends representatives to the biweekly meetings of the student parlaments, where representatives from all students council and political university groups discuss issues concerning all students of the university. The student parlament itself has a variety of subdepartment for specific issues, for instance the one for social issues, sustainabilitity or for international students (https://www.stura.uni-heidelberg.de/vs-strukturen/referate/internationale-studierende/).

Faculty boards (Fakultätsräte)
This board is the most important board of the faculty.
