Conference of the German-speaking mathematics faculties

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The conference of the German-speaking mathematics student councils (KoMa) is a regular gathering of mathematics student councils from the German-speaking area. The KoMa is at the same time the German Federal Student Council on Mathematics, from which it originally emerged. Not only members of the student councils are entitled to participate in a KoMa , but basically all students on a mathematical course.

The KoMa has existed since 1977. Since then, it has taken place every semester at a different university or college . The organizer will be determined at the previous meeting. The travel costs and conference fees are reimbursed by the AStA at most universities and technical colleges , or they are supported by donations from the KoMa.

In the initial plenary, organizational issues are discussed and working groups are formed. In addition to dealing with current university policy issues, subject- specific problems and specialist topics, leisure and sports activities are also offered. The participants spend the evenings of the conference days in good company. The KoMa ends with a final plenary session, at which the results of the working groups are presented, resolutions are passed and their representatives are sent to the student accreditation pool.

The KoMa collects minutes and reports in the publication “KoMa-Kurier”, which is sent to the student councils. Resolutions and decisions are published in press releases and passed on to the relevant public body.

The benefit of the KoMa lies in the discussion of study-relevant topics in getting to know each other and in the exchange of experiences with other mathematics students from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
