IDA STEM Students

IDA STEM Students elects a Spokesperson – Executive Committee from among its members. The spokesperson may be asked to comment on student-related issues in the media, take part in debates about young people and students at the People’s Meeting, and attend other relevant events. The spokesperson receives media training and guidance in connection with public statements.
As a spokesperson, you are also part of the AC student network and the Executive Committee.

IDA STEM Students has an observer seat on the Council of Employees. As an observer, you do not have voting rights, but you do have speaking rights, like all other participants in the meeting.
You are also part of the Executive Committee.

Part of the Executive Committee of IDA STEM Students.

As a Member of the Executive Committee, the Board of Representatives and List Leader, you are directly involved in where key decisions are made. The Board of Representatives can be compared to a parliament – this is where IDA’s overall political direction is defined. The Executive Committee is responsible for the day-to-day leadership of IDA on behalf of the Board of Representatives.

The Executive Committee consists of IDA’s President and 14 other members – including a Student Representative – Board of Representatives (potentially you), who is elected by students at the IDA STEM Students election once a year. As a student representative, you help ensure that the student voice is heard at the highest level of the organisation.

All of IDA’s political lists have a List Leader, whom they elect themselves – including IDA STEM Students. The List Leader acts as a Spokesperson – Executive Committee and serves as an important link between the members represented by the list and IDA’s political organisation.

You contribute to setting the framework, direction and policy for IDA, making principled and overarching decisions, and ensuring that the organisation operates in line with the values and goals adopted by the Board of Representatives. At the same time, you are responsible for ensuring that the IDA STEM Students’ board is involved in this work.

IDA STEM Students has a seat on the Education and Research Committee.
The committee meets around 4–5 times a year. At the beginning of the election period, the committee also goes on a study trip.

You are also part of the Executive Committee.

Part of the Executive Committee of IDA STEM Students
As the Organizational Manager, you help ensure that meetings, seminars and events run smoothly. In close collaboration with IDA’s Volunteering and Professional Activities department, you coordinate the practical details – from planning through to execution.
This is an ideal role if you enjoy structure, prefer working behind the scenes, and want to play an active part in the political and organisational community within IDA STEM Students.

As a Board Member of IDA STEM Students, you help ensure that the voices of your fellow students are heard – both locally at your place of study and across the organisation as a whole.
You are part of the support base for the Executive Committee and contribute your perspectives, experience and ideas at the monthly online board meetings. Here, we discuss everything from political priorities to upcoming activities and focus areas for IDA STEM Students.
Each place of study can have up to two representatives on the board, allowing you to help build a strong link between students at your institution and the organisation’s work at a national level.
This is an ideal role if you may not have a lot of time but still want to have an influence, engage with student-related issues, and be part of a strong nationwide network of STEM students.

IDA STEM Students has four elected representatives, along with alternates, in IDA’s Board of Representatives. The Board of Representatives is IDA’s highest authority. It approves, among other things, IDA’s budget, annual accounts, and its Vision and Strategy.

It is a group of students who are members of the IDA trade union and who want to help shape the political agenda.

We discuss politics, engage in political lobbying, and have influence in internal committees within IDA.

No, we aim for as broad representation as possible, including geographically. If you need to attend a meeting in Copenhagen, we will cover your travel expenses.

It is very individual how much time you choose to commit. We expect you to attend the monthly meetings as much as possible and contribute relevant input when needed. If you would like to take on a specific role in a committee, this will naturally involve more hours, but no one is expected to take on more than they can manage, and we are students first and foremost.
