The International Committee
The International Committee (or IK, short for Internationella konventet) is the group responsible for making international students feel welcome in Uppsala and representing their interests in the nations. We do this predominantly through hosting events, both as a committee and within each nation.
The committee consists of international secretaries from each nation (usually two), a president, vice president and secretary.
The International Committee is a subcommittee of the Kuratorskonventet (Curators Committee), the bridge organisation between the 13 nations in Uppsala who works directly with Uppsala University, Uppsala Student Union, and Uppsala Municipality.
We also host an International Gasque every semester, which is basically a very big Swedish student tradition but we have it fully in English , which is a fancy 3 course dinner where we dress up! Eat , Sing and Cheers to good times.
To stay posted about more international events, follow or facebook page “International Students of Uppsala University”
If you are interested in becoming active in the International Committee, enquire at your nation about the post of International Secretary.
