Academic Environment Council

The purpose of AU's Academic Environmental Council is to strengthen the students's opportunities to get involved in cross-university issues related to the academic environment.

The Academic Environmental Council advises AU's Education Committee and the council's main tasks are to:

  • contribute to the overall development of the academic environment across the university with a focus on the physical, psychological, aestetic and digital academic environment
  • advise on cross-organisational initiatives that can support AU's aim of an inclusive academic environment where all student groups have equal opportunities to be heard.

The Academic Environment Council will convene once or twice per semester. Members are appointed for a two-year term.
