Team Eureka Committee
Do you get excited about organising fun activities, watching your team grow, and working closely with your fellow committee members and the Eurekaweek Management to deliver an event for thousands of participants? Then apply for the Team Eureka Committee and take responsibility for the more than 450 volunteers that make Eurekaweek possible!
Committee Tasks
Organising
Organise interest events for prospective guides and crew members and recruit your very own Team Eureka! You will also plan fun team-bonding activities and watch the volunteers grow into a close-knit and enthusiastic group.
Preparing
To ensure all volunteers start Eurekaweek with confidence, you will design, plan and host the training days. During these days, you will have a short informal interview with every volunteer, provide them with essential information, and actively build team spirit!
Collaborating
Experience Eurekaweek yourself after all the hard work and contribute in the role of Team Service Point, Crew Coordinator, or Management Assistant.
Extra Responsibility
At Team Service Point, you are the first point of contact for the 4000 participants and 400 guides. You answer questions and solve ad-hoc issues on the spot! As a Crew Coordinator, you are responsible for the coordination and wellbeing of your own group of crew members. You make sure everyone knows what to do and that all crewers are doing well. As a Management Assistant, you act as the right-hand support to the Commissioner of Participants and Volunteers, assisting her with tasks such as coordinating events and managing communication via email and the app.
Looking for an additional challenge? Apply for the role of Chair! As Chair of the Team Eureka Committee, you plan meetings, set the agenda, and maintain an overview of the entire process.
Practical Information
The Team Eureka Committee is active from April until the Eurekaweek in August. The time commitment is approximately 4 hours per week, including a weekly meeting. It is expected that you're available full time during Eurekaweek, from August 16th to August 19th.

Testimonials
Being part of the Guide Committee and contributing to the biggest student event of Rotterdam, the Eurekaweek, is very rewarding to me. Together with my fellow committee members we conduct the guide interviews which is very fun and educational
I look forward on welcoming new students to the Eurekaweek!
