Apply to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) Student Council
You have the chance to represent KTH in the Student Council of the The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. The council consists of up to 20 students from universities all over Sweden and the Vice Chairman is currently a student from KTH, so of course we want a new student representative from us!
Information about the assignment
IVA's student council's task is to promote technical and economic sciences as well as the development of business. The academy conducts activities within, among other things, education, business, community development and climate change, where the Student Council actively contributes by adding an important student and doctoral student perspective among the members who are otherwise elected to IVA for life.
The Student Council also organizes its own activities within the framework of IVA and runs projects that deal with, among other things, climate issues, digitization and diversity. The members of the council come from universities spread all over Sweden, and form a link between IVA and the institutions of higher education. KTH usually pays for accommodation and travel to the Student Council meetings around the country.
Participation in the Student Council takes place for two years and therefore requires that you have at least two years left of your studies. You will officially take office from the autumn of 2023. On the council's website you can read more about the assignment and what merits the application: https://www.iva.se/en/About-IVA/student-council/.
Application Process
You apply for the assignment no later than March 13 by emailing utbildning@ths.kth.se with a CV and an introduction of yourself and why you are interested in the assignment. Later in the process you will be asked to provide more information. THS will receive your email, review the applicants and pass on applications to the principal, Anders Söderholm. He decides on who KTH nominates and gives that decision to the current Student Council, which finally elects new members.
It is worth noting that Swedish knowledge is a requirement to be a part of the Student Council.

The hike is for (almost) everybody: You don’t need expertise but should feel comfortable walking for a few hours.
What to bring
Wear stable shoes and bring enough water (min. 1 litre) for the tour! We’ll bring some “hiking snacks”, but if you think about doing the 17 km, you should probably bring something more to eat yourself.

(no) Sign-Up
No Sign-up required, but maybe show that you are interested on Discord/Facebook/etc. 😀

Studen Union Council #4
Hello all Student Union members!
On Tuesday 28th February, KF#4 will be held in the Stora Matsalen in Nymble at 6pm.
All members of THS are welcome to come and listen (if you are a member of Data, you are a member of THS). However, only we elected members are allowed to speak during the meeting, so please talk to us if you have opinions. We are Jakob Carlsson, Noah Hopkins, Pontus Söderlund, and David Puustinen; and alternates Fabian Andréasson and Douglas Fischer.
At the meeting we will decide on such important things as the shade of the CL-chapters colour. We will also elect a chair and vice-chair for the next academic year. In addition, we will receive a visit from the President of KTH.
Full handouts can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CSdqR8gKbDTGtGcLkS2iOpQQ12Mw6cyD?usp=sharing.
The KF, or Student Union Council (Kårfullmäktige), is the highest decision-making body of THS and thus decides, among other things, what the chapters are allowed to do. A number of delegates are elected from each chapter in proportion to the number of members, and we then have about 4-6 meetings per year. Think of it a bit like the EU but for chapters and you have a pretty good picture of the whole thing. Starting next year, members are elected at the SM (Chapter Meeting) so look forward to that!
