It all started with a study trip, and a concurrence of circumstances.

In 2013 Leanne Jansen looked back in Wau(the magazine of Laverna, the study association in Amsterdam) on the origins of Sophia Aeterna:

‘It all started with a study trip and a concurrence of circumstances. The year before, Rosanne Boermans and I had planned to organise a study trip, but we soon learned that that was almost unattainable without a study association. Tuchè fated that Tes Mijnders, Guus van Loon en Bas Clercx had forged plans to found a study association, however they never went through with it. Joining our forces was probably one of the best decisions ever made in our programme I say proudly!'

On the 12th of March 2012 our new study association was born. The name was chosen though a Facebook poll and not too long after that the logo came to be. The association was first responsible for pre-existing activities like the end-of-the-year barbecue, the Christmas drinks, the open mic and the theater performances. New activities soon followed: A trip to Trier, the reason of existence, as a first highlight in the summer of 2012.

By now, Sophia Aeterna consists of almost fifteen committees and has an activity planned almost every week.
