Winter Games is traditionally held at the turn of January/February and takes place at a mountain resort hotel. The event combines concerts, winter activities, and social gatherings, and in recent years has been hosted at Storefjell Resort Hotel.
Winter Games is BISO’s largest national event and brings together students from all four BI campuses: Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Stavanger. The purpose of the event is to strengthen cohesion across campuses and build a shared national BISO identity through a comprehensive student experience.
The project is complex and requires continuous collaboration within the Winter Games board, with campus leadership at all four campuses, BISO at the national level, external partners such as AHA Opplevelser, as well as Storefjell Resort Hotel and other suppliers. Successful execution requires structure, accountability, and the ability to manage a project of significant scope.
For Winter Games 2027, the project board will be recruited from Campus Oslo due to centralization. This means that only applicants affiliated with Campus Oslo will be considered.
