Why I want to be a member of IPSO EC?

- I like new ideas and new challenges. IPSO is a great idea and there is a need for such organisation.
- I have vast experience working for national psychology students' organisation and now want to do something 'important' on the international scene.
- I want to broad my perspective on the situation with the psychology education around the world.
- I believe that we can promote a common psychology education standard around the globe with respect to local interests and indigenous psychology.
- Psychology is first of all an applied science and there are many areas where students can benefit the society; IPSO can help in organising and promoting such services.
- To be successful in 21st century you have to see the World. IPSO would be the perfect place to organise you international studies, look for summer school and conferences and get an accommodation at local IPSO members while you are abroad.
- I am very tolerant, can work hard and tolerate stress, I am open to new ideas and like to listen to others.

What benefits I envision for IPSO members

- General newsletter every month and regional newsletters every trimester
- Study abroad and travel networks help you out when you are going abroad
- Price reductions from major textbooks and journals' publishers, other psychology related organisations, conference and summer institute organisers
- Dedicated networks to pursue your own plans and find collaborators from other parts of the World
- Yearly a General Assembly and at least one summer institute will be organised
- Up-to-date information are constantly circulating among members
- Global perspective on psychology, Emphasised are multiculturalism and mutual acceptance
- Innovative ICT based services (e.g. database of research methods, publicly available tests and questinnaires)

My aims as a Student Members Council Coordinator

1. Increase the number of members dramatically and organise good working contacts with national psychology students' organisations. 
2. Attend equally and operatively to all members' ideas, suggestions, questions and contentions.
3. Inform EC operatively with reports on all initiatives and problems in my area.
4. Keep members' database up-to-date and help in arranging mutual contacts. 
5. Organise polls and survey among members to increase their satisfaction and dedication to IPSO.
6. Work in close contact with Constituents CoCo and guarantee that members not affiliated with national constituents members of IPSO will get the same services and benefits.
7. Organise and chair if needed regional students' meetings, conferences and training courses.
8. Promote IPSO as an organisation among all psychology students I can reach and during different related meetings.

My aims as a Constituents Council Coordinator

1. Basically the same aims but now achieved through and with collaboration to national and regional psychology students' organisations.
2. Providing an international organisation umbrella benefits for constituents (in negotiating price reductions, helping with grant applications, providing technological 'corporate' solutions).
