Phase 1: Preparation, approval and declaration of the Activities Program:

At the beginning of every semester, the Scientific Activities and Community Service Committee distributes the Activities Proposals Form (including: type, name, date, place, target, lecturer’s name, etc. of the event) among staff members. The form is filled out with proposals for the various activities they will participate in during the semester.

The Committee then holds a meeting to study such proposals and develop the semester’s General Program of Scientific Activities and Community Service.

Following this, the draft General Program of Scientific Activities and Community Service is given to the Secretariat to be formatted and output as required.

Afterwards, the proposed program is presented to the Department Head for consultation, and is submitted subsequently to the Department Council for official approval.

Upon approval of the Activities Program, the full program of each event is set. In other words, a staff member who presents an activity is required to prepare a summary and presentation on the activity/event according to custom forms (Activities Form, Scientific Seminars Form, Scientific Courses Form, etc.), including the activity file of semesters.

At the end of this phase, the program is delivered to the Secretariat to be announced by date of each event via the Department’s website, and also to be sent to staff members by UQU email.
