Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE)

International Team Introduction Dear SCOREans, It is my pleasure to open the call for the SCORE International Team for the term 2019/2020. The first SCORE Strategic Plan has come to an end and the post 2019 era has begun for SCORE. Building on the achievements of the past terms and developing new ideas will be the drivers for this upcoming term. So if you are passionate about SCORE and want to work on developing our Standing Committee together with an amazing International Team, don’t hesitate and apply to be part of the next SCORE IT! IFMSA runs the largest student-run exchange program in the world, filling in the gap of the lack of access to research and research education. As a SCORE IT member, you will meet and serve the thousands of NOREs, LOREs, CPs and Exchange enthusiasts who work tirelessly to organize Research Exchanges with an outstanding quality. However, you will also help and motivate SCOREans to organize research activities, campaigns, and capacity building events, expanding the scope of our work. During this upcoming term we will not only focus on strengthening Academic Quality throughout all NMOs, but also on Research Education and advocacy of our Research Exchange program. To achieve all our goals, we will collaborate as the biggest International Team in IFMSA with 1 General Assistant, 1 Internal Development Assistant, 1 External Development Assistant, 5 Regional Assistants and 5 Supervising Board members (elected by the SCORE Working Committee). Furthermore, the Liaison Officer for Medical Education Issues (LME) will be an integral member of our team.

Our plans will be ambitious and the workload will be high. Therefore, be prepared to dedicate yourself

fully, work hard and to face challenges throughout the term. Luckily, we will work together as a team to achieve our goals and we will face all challenges together. Always remember that you will have a whole team to support you and that by the end of the term this IT will be your new SCORE family.

Below you can find an overview of the team structure and a detailed description for each position. I encourage you to read the SCORE Strategic Plan 2016-2019 (here) and the Manual on Research Exchange (here) for more information. Do not hesitate to contact me at mattpierre1997@gmail. com (email) or +32475505657 (Whatsapp) in case you have any questions. I look forward to reading your applications! Big blue hugs,

Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP)

International Team Introduction Dearest SCORPions, A while ago, a very dear friend reminded me that life is a big puzzle, to which we continuously add new pieces with each new experience, idea or decision we make. Each new piece builds on the old ones and only adds more clarity and diversity to the overall picture of the puzzle. Very similarly, SCORP is a very unique puzzle, that throughout the years, SCORPions worked on to add the special pieces to it, leading the efforts to make the world a better, more colorful and harmonized place. Successive generations of empowered and motivated SCORPions, led by our federation’s motto of “think global, act local”, worked to promote and protect human rights and peace through advocacy, capacity building, and raising awareness among various other activities and projects, as the green peacebuilders continue to take an active contributing role in their communities by supporting the development of a universal culture of human rights, being aware of their own rights and responsibilities towards the rights of others, and as such contributing to the development of their societies. The SCORP International Team are the facilitators of those efforts. This team will work throughout the term to carry on the development of SCORP, as well as to guide and facilitate the efforts of SCORPions from around the world to achieve our visions of a peaceful and inclusive world. The work of the International Team will be guided by the following principles: Interdisciplinarity (as Human Rights are the firm base that allow-us to continue our work in all the fields we work on), following a Rightsbased Approach, Sustainability of work, and most importantly putting the Members at the Core of our work, in order to serve our members and our beloved SCORP in the best possible manner. As a final note, Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “

We are not satisfied and will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”, and until such times come all we can do is to step up, take action and start the change from ourselves. So if you are ready to start the change, do not hesitate to join our ship! You can find the detailed team structure and the specific tasks of each position below. Also, make sure to take a look at the Standing Committee regulations, Strategic Plan, workshop regulations as well as other important documents and resources in the SCORPions Drive [here], to guide you through your application process. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at mfasalih97@gmail. com ! Looking forward to reading your green filled application! To peace … and beyond, Mahmood Al-Hamody SCORP Director 2019/2020
