Activites attended by ELSA Sweden
International Council Meeting
The International Council Meeting (ICM) is the highest decision-making body of ELSA. It takes place twice a year, in Spring and Autumn. It is composed of the representatives of the national ELSA groups. The Council decides on the policy and direction that the organisation will follow and discusses the problems faced by ELSA. During the Council Meetings the participants are grouped up in workshops, depending on the position they hold in their respective National Board. The workshops facilitate debate and discussion to allow more expedient decision making in plenary. By attending the workshops, the participants can also get the chance to improve their skills in ELSA matters, as well as in professional matters as a result of the offered training. The Council gathered in the Spring ICM elects the International Board.
International Presidents' Meeting
The International Presidents' Meeting (IPM) gathers the presidents of each member and observer group of ELSA, and the President of ELSA International. Each year two IPMs take place, in January and August. An IPM provides the means to further discussions on topical issues within the association. Taking place half way in between the International Council Meetings, it is an excellent forum to expand and follow up on the discussions that took place during the last ICM, as well as anticipate and find solutions for contentious matters that may arise during the forthcoming ICM.
