Purpose and mandate
Task Group 1 was set up to review, revise and draft proposals for the permanent statutes and governance regulations of OsloMet RISE. It reviewed the interim rules in place at the time, together with the statutes of the predecessor organisation, OsloMetDoc, and assessed whether they were still relevant in today’s institutional context. Governance structures of comparable researcher organisations at Norwegian universities were also benchmarked to identify good practice.
Process and outcomes
The group followed a four-stage process: review of existing and predecessor documentation, submission of a draft statute proposal to the Interim Board, detailed discussion and a formal vote, and publication of the approved statutes on this website.
The approved statutes, including the roles and responsibilities defined for each board role, are available on the Statutes page. They formed the basis for the 2026 election process and are binding for all future boards.
