What is an interest group?

​

FN has several different interest groups, which consist entirely of volunteer students from the Campus. An interest group is a group that has a common interest, such as Plant breeding, animals or foraging, where trips out of the house are arranged, meetings for the members and general exchange of knowledge about the respective common interest.

​

Everyone can sign up if they want to, and as a FN member you have the advantage that trips out of the house or other professional events are supported by the FN. This means that you as a member get these trips and events cheap or completely free.

Here are the different interest groups

​
