Purpose and composition
The Board is the University’s highest authority, and its mandate is to safeguard the University of Copenhagen’s interests as a research and educational institution. Among other things, the Board determines the frameworks for the University's organisation and sets long-term goals for its activities and development.
The Board consists of six external members, three internal TAP and VIP members, and two student representatives. The members serve on the Board for a four-year period from the date they join. This does not apply for student representatives, who are up for election every other year. Board meetings are held approx. eight times a year with the participation of the University's top management.
Next meeting
Board meetings are open to the public. The next ordinary meeting will take place on 5 April 2024 at 9:00-14:30 in Committee Room 1, University Square.
