StV Informatik: ÖH Election 2025
#unfraktioniert
What is the ÖH Election?
The ÖH Election takes place once every two years, this time on 13.-15.05.2025.
At the election, you decide on your future representation in various areas - your study representatives (StV Informatik), as well as the university-wide representation (ÖH JKU) and the federal representation (ÖH BV).
You elect each layer individually: Us student representatives are elected as individual candidates, you decide which person you want to be represented by. For the other layers, you elect a political party (called "list" or "Fraktion") that best represents your interests.
We want to stress that StV Informatik is fully independent: This means that no matter who you vote for, none of our members or candidates belongs to a political party. We do not have any stakes in their political campaigns (more on that here).
While you can elect the other two layers via mail-in voting, your student representatives can only be elected in person: We therefore ask you to please visit one of the polling places on 13.-15.05!
Strong Representation
Who can you vote for?
For the Student Representation in Informatik, you can elect up to five people (in other words, you can tick up to five boxes on your ballot).
The five people with the most votes receive a mandate. They will then decide on the StV's head amongst themselves.
To help you decide, all candidates will introduce themselves below!
On your Ballot
Raffael Borris
Hi! I'm Raffi.
I'm currently in my 6th Semester of my BSc Computer Science. I joined the StV in October 2023 and became head of the ÖH TNF in September 2024. The core of my tasks currently lies within the ÖH TNF, where I focus on conserving and expanding our knowledge on study law and representation work across the different student unions of our faculty. However, my responsibilities towards the faculty representation should not imply that I am not there for the Computer Science StV ;-).
Apart from some commission work, I enjoy advising students and dealing with their concerns related to courses or the JKU in general. I know the curriculum of our Bachelor's degree program pretty well at this point and I will definitely stick around for a couple more years for my Master's degree. I can usually be found in the TNF-Kammerl (some friends have already accused me of practically living there).

Hello everyone,
I’m Gabriel and I’m currently in my 4th semester of the CS Bachelor. I’ve been in the StV CS for about a year, but before that I’ve already been in the StV Mathematics until I changed my studies to CS. Most of you might know me from our Discord server where you'll see me answer many of the questions that arise. Sometimes you'll also see me helping at events.
Most of my other work is a little bit more in the background. For example I've moved over our FAQs from Google Docs to GitHub Pages, built the public transport information display in the TNF Kammerl (that is already broken, but I'll probably make a new one soon™) and built the virtual scale for the TNF decathlon.
Lian Hörschläger
Hey there!
You’ve probably seen me around already – but for those who haven’t (and for those who’d like to get to know me better):
I’m Lian, one of those rare students who actually enjoys studying more than party. I usually get my assignments done the same day I receive them.
I’m currently in my second semester of the Computer Science Bachelor’s program and joined the ÖH during the semester break because I want to actively support my fellow students.
One of the main ways I do that is through our Discord. I’m part of both the moderation and admin teams – keeping things friendly, rule-abiding, and constantly improving.
Another big part of what I do is helping at events like the Board Game Evenings, the TNF Grillerei, and JKU Games.
I’m excited to continue this work as part of the StV Informatik!
Miriam Lazzaretti
Hello!
I'm Miri, I'm currently in the 2nd semester of my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and I joined the student union last autumn because I love planning and coordinating and wanted to put these skills to good use. I tend to complain a lot, but I want to invest my time and energy in order to improve our studies and you can spend your time doing more positive things (e.g. watching duck-families on campus).
Since I don't have a traditional IT background and have changed my studies within the JKU, the challenges that many students face in their first semesters matter a lot to me.
Currently, I am mainly involved in the organisation of our more cozy events, like the CS-Café, the Board Game Sessions, and the JKU Games. However, I hope that in the future I will also have the opportunity to become more involved in direct dialogue with the teaching staff to represent students’ interests.
Florian Obernberger
Hey, I'm Florian!
Currently I'm in my 4th semester of the CS Bachelor program and have been in the Student Union for CS since the end of my first semester.
Since then, I've been busy running the CS Café as well as taking part in the organization of the JKU Games and the TNF BBQ, where I've been one of the lead organizers this year and last.
Some of you might've also seen me around on campus—being tall and having pink hair is not really the best camouflage.
Besides organizing events I have also joined a few commissions to represent students interests, answered student questions, and joined both the mod team on Discord and the confidential contacts.
I wholeheartedly enjoy working with and for the Students Union, and I am looking forward to hopefully continuing in the next semester as part of the mandates team! :)

Hi there, I‘m Steffi and I‘m currently in the 4th semester of the CS bachelor’s program.
While I‘m still a bit of a newbie in the StV (I joined in February), I‘m a seasoned student, having completed two other degrees and dipped my toe into a couple more. I love sharing what I‘ve learned along the way and helping others navigate the ups and downs of uni life. You‘ll often find me at our regular events such as the CS Café and the boardgame evenings and I'm starting to get involved in organizing some future ones (e.g. the upcoming TNF BBQ).
The StV‘s (and the whole ÖH TNF’s) dedication to improving our studies and to making campus life more fun by bringing people together through events motivated me to join and I want to help make sure that we can continue down this path in the future.
Carina Weichselbaum
Hi there, I’m Carina!
I’ve been studying CS since 2019 and am somewhere in the oh-so-familiar unknown lands of not having finished my Bachelor’s but completing Master’s courses as well.
As part of the student union since the summer of 2023, one of my main focus points has been to make everybody’s start into their computer science study as easy as possible by being a mentor and now also organizing the mandatory mentoring program. Besides that, I also work in commissions - most notably the study commission, where I actively advocate for our needs, collaborating with course leaders to improve the curriculum and address your feedback effectively.
Having been working alongside my studies since the beginning and also not coming from an IT background, I’m quite familiar with some of the hardships that a lot of students are facing and I’m proud to directly make an impact on improving those!
Lukas Zeller
Hi! I'm Lukas, currently in my 6th semester of Computer Science and (hopefully) soon finishing my Bachelor’s degree, with plans to continue with the Master’s.
I’ve been active in the Student Union for over a year now, and it’s been great seeing how we can genuinely improve both our studies and our social life.
During my time with the Union, I’ve been involved in organizing events like the JKU Games and the TNF BBQ, helping to create spaces where students can connect, relax, and have fun. I’d love to get the chance to continue this work and even more represent your interests in the Student Union.
You’ll usually find me at the Sprechstundencafés or at our Board Game Evenings (basically my second home, I’m always down for a good game).
If you ever have questions, ideas, or just want to say hi, feel free to come over for a chat. See you around! ;)
