Committees

In general

Committees are established in order to support the board of SIB. There are a lot of various committees. Most committees come together once a week, depending on how busy they are the committee gathers more or less often. Do you like the idea of working together with other committee members and organising exciting activities? Please contact the Commissioner of Internal Affairs!

Acquisition Committee

To be able to organize and host all the beautiful activities as the SIB does, money is needed. The Acquisition Committee helps the Commissioner for External Affairs and all the other committees to raise enough money and promote the SIB among big companies and funds. It's a committee with a lot of freedom, but also a lot of responsibilities!
