The Board decided to initiate the search for Education Dean for the Faculty of Technology

The Board of Directors of the University of Oulu decided in its meeting on August 29, 2024, to initiate the search for a Education Dean for the Faculty of Technology and authorized the Rector to determine the selection process. The Board decided that the term will begin on January 1, 2025, and will last for four years. The position is being opened because the previous Education Dean, Antti Niemi, was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Technology on June 13.

The Board approved the University of Oulu’s commitment to the consortium agreement and responsibilities within the REMHub project, funded by the Horizon Europe programme. The University of Oulu's funding share in the project is nearly 2.2 million euros. The Board authorized the Rector to sign the consortium agreement for the REMHub project.

Additionally:

  • The Finance Committee, established by the Board in April 2024, reported on its work to the Board.
  • The Board was informed of the Vice Rector for Education's decision, the selection criteria, and the Ministry of Education and Culture's additional funding decision related to the additional starting places in the Degree Programme in Medicine.
  • The Board reviewed the situation and discussed the selection of the Rector.
