The Integrity Commission has the goal to promote the Integrity syllabus within the association and process reports of undesirable behaviour as set out in the General Reporting Procedure.

Role Description

The Integrity Commission should consist of at least four members appointed by the European board. Therefore, we will start with recruiting four members. In case the appointed Integrity Commissioners need more human resources, we will re-open the vacancy. With the intention of including as much chapter representation as possible, it would be encouraged to build an Integrity Commission formed by two european commissioners and two coming from different chapters.

  1. To promote this Integrity Syllabus within the association;

  2. To receive and process reports as set out in the General Reporting Procedure;

  3. To investigate reports of undesirable behaviour;

  4. To advise the Board on performed investigations.

  5. Producing a report every 2 years to be collected by the Ombudsperson

Practical information
