Link with the Strategic Plan
The management of the university is inclusive and value-based. Management decisions at every level direct the development of the university towards high quality teaching, learning and research.
The university community is tight-knit, family friendly and fosters comprehensive self-fulfilment of its members while appreciating diversity as the basis for academic freedom of thought and as the driving force for ground-breaking research and innovation.
Project goal
Developing a coherent organization and open internal climate: it increases cooperation and competitiveness and the quality of management through a clear management model and better communication between different units and levels of management.
Project benefits
- Harmonisation of different internal and external monitoring systems, which saves resources from double reporting (integration of accreditation follow-up activities with the operational programme, integration of top risk management activities with the operational programme, integration of external evaluation requirements with the internal monitoring system, interoperable HTS (Administrative unit) services), once only and seamless governance.
- The increased internal cooperation capacity and competencies of the learning and involved university community increase the competitiveness of the university as a whole (capacity for intersectoral cooperation, increased satisfaction with management).
- Risk management and awareness by owners and different levels of management help to see new opportunities and solutions in risk management.
- The well-functioning internal cooperation capacity of the university community increases the strategic competitiveness of the university as a whole to play a greater role in serving society and contributing to the economy as an opinion leader and leader.
