NOVEMBER 2011 AARHUS UNIVERSITY RECTOR LAURITZ B. HOLM-NIELSEN 4 UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE – ACT OF 2003  Autonomy – from state institutions to autonomous bodies within the public sector  Accountability through the use of university performance contracts  Governing boards with a majority of external members Safeguard the university’s interests as an educational and research institution and determine guidelines for its organization, long term activities and development  Appointed leaders in university governance structures (rector, deans and department heads)

NOVEMBER 2011 AARHUS UNIVERSITY RECTOR LAURITZ B. HOLM-NIELSEN 5 UNIVERSITY MERGERS – 2006/7  Before the mergers Denmark had:  12 universities and 13 government research institutions  As a consequence of the mergers, Denmark now has:  8 universities and 3 government research institutions

NOVEMBER 2011 AARHUS UNIVERSITY RECTOR LAURITZ B. HOLM-NIELSEN 6 WHY MERGERS? Background:  OECD deemed Danish public research environment too fragmented  Government ambition:  more interdisciplinary cooperation in education;  more flexible and relevant offerings of degree programmes for the Danish students;  greater success for Danish universities in their applications for EU research funding;  higher quality (in the sense of impact) of the Danish university research output;  better cooperation between the universities and the private sector with respect to innovation;  more effective knowledge relationship between the public research sector and the sector ministries. What made it possible?  Political pressure supplemented by free choice of merger-partners (and not all were forced to merge)  Took place in a time of increasing funding (2006: Globalisation Agreement)
