The Bebras Community is an association of organizations which are involved with informatics and educational activities in this area.
The members of the Bebras Community are organizations responsible for running a national Bebras Challenge in their country. A member organization of the Bebras Community is referred to as National Bebras Organizer (NBO). There may be only one NBO per country.
The Bebras Community requires an NBO (among other duties mentioned later on)
- to have expertise in the area of informatics education, nationally or internationally;
- to annually organise a national Bebras Challenge in its country;
- to promote the national Bebras Challenge and provide the resources necessary to make the challenge available to as many young people in the country as possible;
- to make visible to the public that their national activities are part of the international activities of the Bebras Community, and to provide a website that can be used by the Bebras Community to point to the NBOs national activities;
- to provide a contact person and contact data for permanent liaisons with the Bebras Community; and
- to annually report about its activities to the Bebras Community.
The International Bebras Committee (IBC) is composed of NBO representatives. During the International Bebras Workshop, all NBO delegates are considered IBC members. For all IBC actions to be taken in between the workshops, each NBO nominates one representative as a voting member of the IBC.
The IBC is the main decision body of the Bebras Community. Among its duties are
- to decide about NBO membership, including suspension and dismissal;
- to decide about changes to the statutes, including appendices;
- to decide about guidelines for the work of the Bebras Community;
- to elect members of other Bebras Community bodies, as well as office-bearers.
