Then consider joining the Study Tour Committee and be certain of a spot on a trip you will organise with 6 other people.

Inter-Actief is looking for students interested in forming a committee to organise a study tour in Q1 2027. After the formation, you have more than a year to prepare a trip with fellow students, in close contact with the programmes of (T)CS and BIT. In addition, you will be responsible for the course's new structure and content. In the end, you delivered an amazing trip for many students, and you should have earned 15 or 10 ECs for a bachelor's and a master's, respectively. Thanks to contract research, the study tour is also significantly cheaper than organising a similar trip yourself, often saving participants thousands of euros compared to a regular holiday.

If this sounds interesting and you're wondering how such a committee works, what your tasks might look like, or what it was like last time, don't be afraid to email board@inter-actief.net to receive the presentation, which explains it in more detail.

You can express your interest in joining the committee by sending an email to board@inter-actief.net. Expressing your interest does not bind you to joining the committee yet. The deadline for this is the 22nd of May.

Have you ever thought about getting involved in bigger activism than a committee? Would you like to spend a year managing an association?

Then a board year might be just the thing for you! In a board year, you work on many different things and your activities are incredibly diverse. Think, for example, of meetings with the faculty, helping members, forming committees, and much more! This makes a board year a super educational year in which you work hard on multiple skills such as time management, collaboration skills, and independence.

If you want to study alongside your board year, that is certainly possible! In a part-time board year, you can choose how much time you want to spend on your studies and how much on the board. If you would like more information about this, please send an email to board@inter-actief.net!

Would you like to know more about the details of a board year? Come to the board interest drink on March 22 at Abscint. Here, you will receive more information about the positions you can take within a board and about the general activities of a board member.

Are you interested and would you like to become a candidate board member? Send an email (without obligation) to board@inter-actief.net. The board will then invite you for an interview. The interview is intended to allow us to get to know you better, and it gives you the opportunity to show us why you would like to become a board member of Inter-Actief. The deadline for applications is March 24.
