The Employer Panel 

The main task of the Employer Panel is to advice the Department on
1) New educations and/or courses
2) New curricula/revision of existing curricula
3) Contact to the relevant employer group
4) Student intake, employment figures and job opportunities

The panel is composed of ten representatives from the business sector and public and voluntary organizations. The panel is attended by the Head of Department, the Head of Studies, the Head of PhD Programme, a scientific staff member and the associate dean for education.

From a set of criteria, the Department suggests to the faculty relevant labour market nominees for the Employer Panel. The Faculty approves of the nominees and may supplement with one or two persons.

The Department must be represented by the Head of Department and the Head of Studies. Additionally, up to two academic staff members may be appointed. A chairman and a vice-chairman are appointed. Meetings are held once a year.
