The calendar year is slowly drawing to a close, but an important event before your well‑deserved turn of the year is still to come: the traditional FSR1 Christmas party!

On 03 December 2025 we therefore invite you from 8 p.m. onward to the premises of the EAC to eat cookies, drink punch, play games, and unwrap presents together…
Wait, presents? Of course, because without them Christmas would only be half as nice, so get ready for the probably most important part of the evening: the freshman Secret Santa! As freshmen, gather either alone or in small groups and procure a gift worth about €5 up to a maximum of €10 (it doesn’t have to be brand new, the main thing is that it comes from the heart and your recipient can still be happy about it). At the Christmas party you can then receive a gift from the faculty Santa — but only in exchange for a short artistic, sporting, cultural or generally entertaining performance (about 5 minutes; Santa likes many things, so be bold!).
Note: Only one gift needs to be brought per group, and only one will be handed out.

After the traditional freshman Secret Santa, a comprehensive entertainment program awaits you. This includes several exciting games in which you can compete in groups of students and professors/lecturers against each other.
If you are not playing yourself at the moment, this also offers the opportunity to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere of the EAC and have cozy conversations with faculty members.

To get into the Christmas spirit already before the actual Christmas party, you can listen from 6:30 p.m. at the Schlossplatzquartier SPQ‑1301 to a series of Christmas lectures by various professors from Faculty 6 and Faculty 1. These lectures will end around 7:30 p.m., so that you can arrive at the EAC relaxed and on time.

We look forward to you and your ideas, and also to your large turnout!
Yours, FSR1
