Research Committee

The Research Committee is an advisory body for the university management in all matters pertaining to research in the broadest sense.

​​​​The Research Committee at Nord University consists of 10 members and is chaired by the Pro-Rector for Research. All members are appointed with a personal substitute. A deputy chair is to be elected among the representatives of the employees.

Employees (7) are represented by the person who is Head of Education and Research at each faculty, such as the Dean or Vice Dean.

The students (2) are appointed from among the Ph.D. students at the institution. The Dean of each faculty suggests a representative, and out of the four suggestions, two are elected permanent representatives and two as substitutes.

The secretaries of the faculties’ research committees are observers, as is a representative from Nordland Research Institute.
