The Student Council of the School of Science
The Student Council of the School of Science (LÜK) is a place where students of the Faculty of Science can shape their own student life.
Here you can take part in organizing entertainment events aimed both at our members and the entire university family. You can also get involved in marketing, project management, educational initiatives, and much more. We offer space for action, experimentation, and growth.
The opportunities don’t end there. If you have an idea, we’ll bring it to life together!
Through LÜK, you’ll gain new skills, great friends, or even inspiring people, and maybe discover a new passion. You don’t have to be an expert to join, just bring your motivation to create something genuinely fun or meaningful.
If you’re looking for excitement and challenges in your student life, you’re in the right place! You can join us all year round :)

Major events
One of our most exciting projects is Tunne Oma Teadust, which takes students to visit science and technology companies and culminates in an inspiring seminar, SciTed, where students meet top professionals from their field.
Mott Night is a major Faculty of Science event open to all students, doctoral candidates, and lecturers. The evening features a diverse social program, of which the quiz is only one part. There are also performances, games, and other activities. The SciBar will be open with drinks and discussions, along with catering to keep the energy up. It’s the perfect fun break before exam season begins.
As the name suggests, Tournament Night offers a wide variety of games, from Uno and beer pong to video games, so there’s something for everyone. In collaboration with Lapikud, we create a playful and enjoyable evening where you can challenge yourself and simply have a good time. Don’t miss out!
Summer Days is LÜK’s recreational trip that takes place before the autumn semester. The two-day event is full of fun activities, lively challenges, and unforgettable adventures. During the trip, the new board presents its vision and plans for the upcoming year. The evenings are filled with sports such as volleyball, orienteering, and beer pong.
Small events
We offer a wide range of creative workshops, such as wine glass painting, ceramics, and onigiri making. Other activities include our adorable knitted cells project, various crafting and vision board evenings, and much more to come!
Come experiment, create, and let your imagination fly!
The Freshers’ Initiation is an annual autumn event aimed at connecting new science students with their more experienced peers. Throughout the evening, the newcomers are tested in different fun activities and competitions, allowing everyone to get to know each other and have a great time. The evening ends with the freshmen taking a joint oath.
Studying natural sciences is not easy. That’s why LÜK has made it its mission to motivate its members and help every student earn the degree they’ve set their sights on! We organize motivation evenings at least once a month and even more frequently during busy times. These include active sessions, fun gatherings, and engaging board game or movie nights.
The Mentor x Mentee Evening is a friendly and supportive event that brings together experienced students (mentors) and first-year students (mentees) to help newcomers adapt to
university life and offer them guidance. The evening features games and activities designed to encourage interaction and build connections. For the second year in a row, this event has been awarded the title of LÜK’s Small Project of the Year.
Scientists are versatile people with many interests beyond the natural sciences. LÜK aims to support our members’ development and diversity by organizing engaging training. Members have had the chance to participate in sessions on Canva, Notion, and even project management.

Loodusabi is a project for all students of the Faculty of Science, designed to make studying easier. It connects those who need help with those who can offer it, whether it’s understanding higher mathematics, solving quantum chemistry problems, or preparing for exams.
Every year, the Faculty of Science Student Union expands its external collaborations with other student unions and organizations.
