EOS is the study association of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. The Faculty Association is named after Eos, the Goddess of Dawn, and was founded on 27 August 1996. On that particular day, the merger of Mundus (Political Science Association) and Com Laude (Communication Science Association) was a done deal. Meanwhile, with more than 1100 members, EOS has grown into one of the largest and most active associations of the Vrije Universiteit and the Netherlands. It currently has its XXVIIth board and in the past 26 years, the association has developed strongly in all areas.
As a faculty association, EOS does not represent one specific study, but we are there for all programs of the Faculty of Social Sciences. That includes the bachelor's programs in Administrative and Organisational Science, Communication Science, Sociology, Political Science, and Cultural Anthropology & Development Sociology. We also represent both Dutch- and English-language pre-masters and master's degree programs, including Public Administration, Communication Studies, Political Science and Policy, Communication and Organisation (BCO).
There are over 20 committees with a total of more than 80 committee members who organise very diverse and always interesting activities throughout the year concerning study, fun and business. There are also facilitating committees that support and advise the day-to-day management.
By becoming active at EOS, you get the chance to develop yourself and work on your skills. As a committee member, you can organise highly varied activities or go on to do a board year and thereby boost your CV and yourself enormously. Time and time again, we hear from companies and (semi-)governments that they highly value precisely these activities alongside your studies.
