The association encompasses four main pillars that cover the core interests of the student body at the SBE. SCOPE represents an impressive number of more than 4000 members - Bachelor as well as Master students - and is therefore one of the biggest study associations in Europe. SCOPE’s purpose is to support the Faculty’s student population throughout their entire study process in the best way possible and aims to fulfil their interests and demands at hand. We try to realize these goals by working intensively and closely with the University and affiliated firms and organisations. SCOPE Board In order to lead the association and its active and passive members, SCOPE is once again looking for new board members. The SCOPE Board guides and represents the overall association carrying the final responsibility of SCOPE. This includes the continuous implementation of the Strategic Renewal of 2016 and the development of SCOPE’s strategic outlook in all its fields of activity and towards its stakeholders. This implementation is not possible without close collaboration with the association’s Pillar Boards. To steer the association in a way that is appropriate to SCOPE’s size and role at the SBE, SCOPE Board members devote one Full-Time year to the tasks and challenges that come along with these responsibilities which is also financially compensated.

- 11. 11 Pillar Boards SCOPE is run by its active members essentially. That’s why engaging with and guiding these active members is a major responsibility in the association. This responsibility is given to SCOPE’s Pillar Boards. The association and its community are organisationally divided into four interest-related pillars that are engaged to develop unique identities embedded into their members’ mind sets and the purpose reflected by the events and tasks that are organised or followed by the pillars’ committees. As a member of a distinct Pillar Board that shapes this identity and manages the operational work of these committees you will deepen the team spirit and ultimately the motivation of SCOPE’s active members which will result in a good performance of the association. As a Pillar Board member, you will not only have the chance to guide the work of several committees operating in SCOPE’s different fields of activities but to gain full operational responsibility of the events that your committees organise. Hence, collaboration between operationally responsible Pillar Board members and the Full-Time SCOPE Board member carrying the respective end-responsibility is key. Pillar Boards are chaired and bonded by their respective Managing Director who also takes over financial responsibility of the Pillar’s finances. Moreover, all Pillar Board members and the respective Full-Time SCOPE Board member are part of cross-pillar teams aiming to streamline activities, share knowledge about committees of similar fields of activity, and to join committee forces for cross-Pillar events. The Pillar Board gives you the opportunity to step up your involvement in SCOPE as an organisation without necessarily committing a Full-Time year as these Part-Time positions are meant to be combined with studies. Nevertheless, the spent time is financially compensated. The next page summarizes each Pillar-Board’s positions and states their guided committees.
