Would you like a seat at the table when important decisions are made at your faculty or in your unit about e.g. strategies, budgets or recruitment policies? Then stand for the university elections and let your opinion be heard – or vote for the candidate who will make a difference to you.

Who is up for election? 

Elections will be held from 11-14 November, and this year all employees can stand for election to – or vote for candidates for – the AU Board and the academic councils. PhD students can also stand for election and vote in elections to PhD committees. Read more about the various councils, boards and committees.

Information specific to ST: Elections for the academic councils at ST for employees will be postponed until 2020 due to the upcoming division of the faculty.

Register your candidacy from 17 October to 28 October

If you are interested in standing for election, you can register your candidacy electronically from Thursday 17 October at 9:00 to Monday 28 October at 16:00. However, it is a good idea to submit your electronic candidacy registration form as early as possible in the period so that any errors can be corrected before the deadline expires.
