Icarus is the study association for philosophy students at the VU. Icarus is an educational, fun and active study association, and above all a very friendly and open group of students and teachers. Our official language is English to make sure we are inclusive of international students, as these form a big part of our association. For more than 15 years we have been a safe place for all who want to connect with fellow students, have a good time together or engage in deep philosophical talks, discussing course content and beyond. Icarus organizes events throughout the year such as movie nights, lectures, debates, borrels and much more. We also organize a yearly study trip, during which we have been to Rome, Berlin, Jerusalem, and Prague.
