Student Activities Timeline
- 2009: The Iberian Student Branch Congress was first organised. It was born out of a cooperation between the Instituto Superior Técnico and Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco Student Branches. It brought together for the first time the student branch volunteers from Portugal and Spain, as well as attendees from Region 8 and beyond, for a total of around 90. Since then, the event takes place every odd year, being alternately hosted by a Portuguese or a Spanish student branch.
- 2010: 16 people from Portugal attend the SBC 2010 in Leuven, Brussels, making it the third largest delegation.
- 2010: The first Portuguese Student Branch Congress was organised by the Universidade de Aveiro Student Branch. It's the yearly event for branch leadership in the Section. The follow-up event took place in Lisbon, October 2011, hosted by the Instituto Superior Técnico Student Branch.
