Student Associations

At the Department of Geography, Tourism and Hotel Management, we particularly nurture student initiative, activism, and research spirit. We are proud that our students do not remain passive observers but active participants in shaping the academic and professional community. This desire for engagement has led to the development of three student associations within the Department, each with its own specificities and areas of interest. Regardless of the topic, all associations nurture teamwork, curiosity, and a friendly spirit. Through various activities – from organizing events and research field trips to public lectures and projects – students gain valuable experiences and contacts that often grow into lifelong friendships. We invite all students to recognize the space for their development and join the work of the associations – because knowledge grows when shared, and experiences and memories become more valuable when built together.

European Geography Association for Students of Geography – EGEA Novi Sad

The EGEA association was founded and registered in 1988 in Utrecht. From then until today, the association has over 5,000 students who are divided into 5 regions (36 countries, 96 entities). EGEA Novi Sad has its roots in 2001, when the then members began to get involved in numerous activities. EGEA deals with developing connections, creating new friendships around the world, uniting young students on their own initiative through congresses, motivational weekends, exchanges, seminars, but also informal forms of socializing. By inspiring young students to, through such and similar activities, encourage the young leaders within themselves, we create a pleasant and sustainable environment that is non-discriminatory and with much understanding for other colleagues.
