FISO was founded in 2021, with the first Board officially installed by January of 2022. FISO provides representation to student organisations in Eindhoven that represent something that's part of you: something that defines who you are or how you view the world. We call these organisations our 'Participants'.
FISO was founded by Christiaan and the FISO Foundation Team on the basis of the FISO Charter, an agreement between all student organisations that would form the first members of FISO. FISO was originally formed out of the religious umbrella Credo, and the associations Cosmos, AEGEE, Lighthouse and Compass. With the founding of FISO, Credo was disbanded.
Within FISO, three main pillars were agreed upon by the founding Participants:
All organisations participating in FISO are expected to hold these pillars as values of their organisation, thus promoting these qualities to the student community and improving the community on these fronts.
The Board of FISO Eindhoven is overseen, guided and supervised by the Supervisory Council. They can be reached at supervisory-council@fiso-eindhoven.nl.
Currently, the Supervisory Council consists of:
The Foundation Team helped to review documents and provided input and reflection (from their respective future participants). FISO could not have been founded without their support!
The Foundation Team consisted of:
Additionally, we thank Annemarie, Patrick and Wim from the TU/e for their support and guidance in founding FISO.
