Interim Open Call 2023

Open Call dates: September 23 – October 5, 2022

Dear IFSA Family,

Would you like to experience what being an Organising Committee is like? This is an open call to host Interim 2023!

Interim is the mid-year meeting for IFSA officials. It usually lasts for a week and takes place between late December and early February. Since most of the work that we do is spread all over the world, this is a chance for officials to be able to get together and work face-to-face. Officials explain the difficulties met during the first part of their terms, try to find solutions, plan the work for the remainder of their term and regain energy by diving into the IFSA spirit.

So, what would hosting Interim involve?

This would basically mean providing:

  • Accommodation,
  • Food,
  • A working space for approximately 15-30 people (depending on how many officials confirm their attendance).

The main objective of hosting Interim is to give officials a working space, so it does not need to be anything extra elaborate. Of course, 1-2 fun activities (showing you forests and culture or meeting some of your University professors or fellow students) are welcome (to catch a breath after all of the work), but these are optional.

If you are looking for ways in which your LC can get more actively involved in IFSA, and test your fundraising skills to host events, your chance is here!

Those who are interested in hosting the event have until Wednesday 5th of October 2022 at 23:59 UTC to send in an overview (in whichever form you prefer: Video, PowerPoint, etc.) with:

A description of why you would like to host the meeting,

  • The exact location,
  • A rough outline of the budget,
  • Potential/preferred dates (between 15th of January to 15th of February)
  • How many officials could attend
  • Bonus: an estimate of participation cost per official (if possible!)
  • Please don’t forget to include the name of the LC that would be organizing it!

Please send in your proposals to: opencall@ifsa.net

Looking forward to receiving your applications!
