Purpose and mandate
Task Group 4 was set up to map and clarify the channels through which OsloMet RISE can take part in democratic decision-making at the university. The group identified the university bodies, committees, boards and councils where RISE is represented or has influence, as well as those where it is not, and worked on a visual overview.
Work carried out
As a first step, the group created a unified classification system for internal use. It ranks the bodies hierarchically and separates those with formal decision-making authority from those with an advisory mandate. The work included:
- An Excel file describing relevant boards and committees.
- A detailed visualisation of democratic bodies for internal board use.
- A condensed, more accessible version of the visualisation for members, giving an overview of OsloMet’s governance structure.
