Humanities Think Tank
What is the Humanities Think Tank?
The Humanities Think Tank (HTT) is composed out of 16 students from 16 different study programmes. The Think Tank meets every 6 weeks to discuss and advice the Leiden Faculty of Humanities about relevant faculty topics such as communication towards students, the integration of research and education, the university elections and so on. The HTT is a platform for staff members to pitch and discuss new or existing plans in order to take into account the student view. Furthermore, the HTT can signal or pick up new topics that might not be on the radar of the board.
De Humanities Think Tank tries to balance its members so every student body is represented by a diverse mix of students. That way the HTT also offers the members a chance to meet students who are active in another student body.
