University Governing Board

The University Governing Board has general responsibility for the implementation and planning of Dalarna University affairs and activities. The Board has representatives from both university staff and external organisations, as well as student members.

Members that are external to the University are appointed by the Swedish Government, normally for a period of three years. The current mandate period is May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

Teacher representatives are voted in for three years. Also on the Board are three student representatives, who have a one-year mandate.

The Chairperson of the Board is Christina Bellander, Consultant. The Secretary is Kerstin Göras.
