About

Here you will find swimsa’s official opinion on certain topics in the form of position papers and statements. 

A position paper contains a critical analysis of a specific but broadly defined topic area. This main section supports and explains the main demands, with swimsa calling for concrete measures from specific stakeholders in the call to action. Position papers are written by working groups and adopted by the members of swimsa at the Assembly of Delegates. They are valid for 5 years and form the official opinion of swimsa during this time.
