Committees
The association is driven by a lot of enthusiastic students, who want an extra challenge and contact during their study. These students are divided in lots of committees, all of them have separate tasks.
The board is the overarching "committee" and is responsible for overseeing everything within the association. In addition to your duties as a board member, you also supervise several other committees. Furthermore, the board determines the direction of the association and maintains contact with Fontys, sponsors, and partner associations. As a board, you have at least one meeting every week: the board meeting. In addition, you also have "room duties," which are times when you are present in or around the innovum room and serve as the association's point of contact. In summary, as a board member, you are responsible for the enjoyment and functionality within the association!
Every year, during the first week before the new academic year, the most amazing event of the entire SV. Innovum is organized: the introduction week! To ensure that the introduction gets just a little better each year than the previous one (almost impossible because every intro is amazing), the committee starts planning the next year's introduction week right after the current one ends. To make this happen, we are always looking for members who want to help us plan this fantastic event. If you're interested, speak to one of the committee members, and who knows, you might be helping organize another fantastic introduction week next year.
We ensure that all social media and promotion accounts of SV. Innovum remain active and maintained. We do this by taking photos, writing texts, creating events, and keeping the profiles up to date. This way, everyone can stay informed about what's happening within the association. We are also responsible for the association's magazine, the inSide, and posters for Innovum events. The articles in the inSide can cover Innovum events, cool DIY guides, or something informative. The people who are great at Photoshop, or very skilled in writing articles, are the members of the media committee.
The study trip committee organizes a one-week educational but super fun trip for a large group of students every year during the May vacation. During this week, you'll visit several companies, but there will also be opportunities to explore the area and enjoy nights out together. For the company visits, we all dress in formal attire, with even the ladies wearing professional clothing! Add a secret activity to the mix, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what the study trip committee organizes.
Assembling your own Innovum designer cabinet? Designing and building a mug carousel (a.k.a. the "mockenkaroesel")? Working on projects all year long? Then the Beun Committee is perfect for you! Of course, there are some technical and geometric aspects, but it’s all in the name of the committee: we’re just going to have some fun tinkering :) So if you want to get hands-on or just mess around with technology, we hope to see you soon in our Bodge Committee!
As the external committee, we are the link between engineering students and companies. Through lunch lectures and excursions, we provide companies with more visibility and help students connect with companies they may not yet be familiar with. This way, we offer students the opportunity to get a first impression of a company or to gain a more detailed understanding. The external committee facilitates both the initial contact and the sharpening of the student's perception of the company.
In addition to all that hard studying, there also needs to be some time to relax every now and then. This is exactly where the party committee comes in! It’s our responsibility to provide that relaxation through social drinks, parties, and our famous pub crawls. The word "together" is central to our committee. Bringing together members, friends, teachers, and even sponsors in a relaxed atmosphere is our top priority.
In the "Documittee," we create fun aftermovies and other visual content from Innovum events. This way, all the crazy, fun, and typically-Innovum moments are captured for future generations. Curious about the videos we make? Then be sure to check out our YouTube
The International Committee aims to involve international students in the association and embrace diversity. We organize a variety of activities to promote cultural exchange, such as the Foodfest, a popular event where you can try dishes from different cultures.
In the catering committee, we provide the essential supplies for every future engineer at Innovum. The catering committee is the beating heart of the association, ensuring every week that there is coffee, tea, soft drinks, and snacks available for all members of the association. This way, students can recharge during a short break and get back to work feeling refreshed!
Do you enjoy organizing activities just as much as participating in them? Want to take control and make things happen? Then the activities committee is definitely for you! With our amazing team, we organize various fun events each year, such as beer cycling, the Christmas dinner, the secret winter activity, Innovum weekend, the end-of-year BBQ, and much more. Are you interested? Feel free to drop by and see if you could be the newest member of our committee.
Student support is the committee dedicated to helping your fellow engineering students. Whether you want to give or receive tutoring, you've come to the right place. If you become a tutor, there are some great rewards waiting for you. In addition to organizing tutoring sessions, we also host study evenings during every exam week, where you can study hard together and help each other prepare as best as possible for the exams.

This is the committee that maintains the digital infrastructure of SV. Innovum. Think, for example, of the stripe system, the ticket website, and our various game servers. We ensure that the board has the tools to keep everything running smoothly and that the members can enjoy everything the association has to offer.
