General Association of Uppsala Statistics Students, commonly referred to as GAUSS, is a non-profit student organization formed in the spring of 2026.
Gauss’s purpose is to promote and increase student interest in various topics of statistics. GAUSS also organizes social events like pub nights, dinner parties, quizzes, Christmas parties and more!
GAUSS is run by a bureau of four (president, vice president, treasurer and secretary) and a board (maximum 11 members). The president is responsible for the board’s work, including summoning the board meetings and ensuring that matters are dealt with and decisions are reached. The vice president assists the president with the board’s work and is responsible for activities and tasks which fall outside the ordinary area of responsibilities. The secretary is responsible for recording protocol at the association’s board meetings and for registering new members. The treasurer is responsible for ensuring that the association’s finances, accounting and resources are managed well. The treasurer works closely with most of the association’s operations and therefore has good insight into the association’s activities. The board members are there to assist the bureau in the regular operation.
GAUSS does not have any political, ideological or theoretical ties and its headquarter is located in Uppsala, Sweden.
