'Council' Workshop for Early Career Researchers
10 December 2018 – 10.30 to 12.30
Council – the University's executive governing body
Every three years, Council – the University's executive governing body – undertakes a self-review of its effectiveness in carrying out its responsibilities.
Council identified a number of ways in which the working of the committee and its sub-committees could be changed to improve its effectiveness. In that discussion, it was agreed by all members of Council that a key area that requires attention is the dialogue between Council and the wider University, including Congregation. It was agreed that it is important to improve the mechanisms that allow an appropriate two-way flow of information.
The workshop will be attended by Council members together with a facilitator and colleagues who wish to engage in the discussion
Workshop – issues for discussion:
- What are the key priorities and concerns for the group(s)?
- How might we ensure that they are recognised in the agenda of University business – and if appropriate on Council’s agenda?
- How do you like to receive information and updates on the work of Council and the University’s strategic direction? What channels of communication work best for you? (Town Hall events, the University website, email, posters, social media etc)
