To all members of staff at Health
Dear All
Yesterday – Wednesday 9 March 2011 – the unified senior management group announced its decisions regarding Aarhus University’s academic organisation and a number of additional resolutions – including the area of administrative organisation.
For us here at Health, these decisions have a number of consequences, and I will list the most sweeping effects here:
The senior management group’s decisions also cover other quite important conditions, and I would like to refer to the material submitted in its entirety so that all details are included (see www.au.dk/en/about/changes/).
Four of the five head of department positions have been announced with an application deadline of 31 March 2011, while the position of head of the Department of Clinical Medicine will also be announced at a later date.
In the process leading to the announcement of the decisions, the material was thoroughly prepared. The starting point included proposals I made in December 2010 regarding the faculty’s academic organisation. The many comments I received from all areas of the faculty and from the Central Denmark Region were especially incorporated and weighed up. I would once more like to thank you for the many important and constructive comments, which were of great value throughout the process.
I have sent out invitations to a number of meetings in the immediately forthcoming period, and I hope to see as many people as possible. The meetings will go through the effects of the decisions here at Health in their entirety and in a number of partial aspects. The sequence of the meetings is listed in the attached PDF file.
As stated in the timetable, the vice-dean of education will meet with representatives from the faculty’s student organisations and the medical students’ council, while the vice-dean of talent development will meet with the PhD committee.
In addition, I can already say that I intend to visit all the clinical departments under Aarhus University Hospital during the first half of 2011.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in the week ahead.
Kind regards
Dean Allan Flyvbjerg
