Professionel University Management

CESAER 20th General Assembly & Seminar

30th October 2009

President Lars Pallesen

Technical University of Denmark CESAER 20th General Assembly & Seminar – 3th October 2009

An observation

Why is it neccessary to use ”professional” in the context of ”university management” ?

Is it because:

• Universities regard themselves as unmanaged or even unmanagable ?

• Universities regard themselves as unprofessional ?

• Universities regard professionalisme in management as a perculiar discipline for geeky researchers ?

Or is it because universities in fact are aware that changes are needed and that professional skills in management of a university are needed to become or stay competitive in a globalized economy, where knowledge and innovation is the driver which can uphold a contry’s competitive edge.

University management in Denmark

The Danish University Act of 2003 established new rules on the organisation and management of Danish Universities, including:

• A Board of Governors with a majority of external members and with the overall responsibility of the university.

• A President hired by the Board of Governors, and with the primary responsibility of the day to day management of the University.

• Provost, University Director as well as Deans hired by the Board upon the recommendation of the President.

• Department Heads hired by the President/Dean.
