What Study association IDent does

Studievereniging IDent (sv. IDent) is a Dutch student study association founded on June 30, 2010, that serves students of the Forensisch Onderzoek (Forensic Investigation) program at Saxion Hogeschool in Enschede, Netherlands. Originally established for Crime Science students and expanded in September 2011 to include Forensic Investigation students after the Crime Science program was discontinued, it currently operates under its 16th student board (2025–2026 academic year) and self-describes as the most active study association at Saxion. The association is governed by an annually elected five-member board and a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board), with operational delivery distributed across 10+ committees covering activities, alumni, media, promotion, study trips, and public relations.

The association's service portfolio centers on an annual international study trip (destinations since 2014 include Stockholm, Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Bratislava, Krakau, Zagreb, and Ljubljana), academic lectures from forensic practitioners (Frank van de Goot, Metta de Noo, Lucia de Berk), excursions to forensic facilities (Bergings- en Identificatie Dienst, prisons), career support (internship and graduation placement, tutoring), and a social programming calendar of borrels, themed parties, BBQs, pool evenings, room tours, laser gaming, and a member weekend. Content is delivered via a WordPress-based website using the Simple Event Planner plugin, supplemented by Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Snapchat, a monthly newsletter, and an annual 4n6 magazine.

Funding is non-commercial: membership fees are collected via the Knaek discount platform (€0.02 first year, then €30 annually), supplemented by per-activity fees (€5–€60), local sponsorship from hospitality and leisure vendors in Enschede (Dominos, La Cocina, Mitra, Panache, De Kokkerette, Vluchte, Lasergame Hengelo, RGB Enschede), the KNCV / Jong KNCV partnership, and affiliate revenue from SponsorKliks. Total annual revenue is undisclosed but implied to be well under €50,000 given the membership-scale economics.
