University and Higher Education Councils

Although university and higher education councils are widespread in supervisory and governance organizations, there is hardly any established knowledge base in Switzerland.

By building up a body of expertise, CHESS aims to contribute to orientational and reflective knowledge for self-reflection and understanding in and between the bodies of university governance.

CHESS is available for conversations and bespoke workshops for higher education councils, university administrations, university offices, and their respective staffs.

Please direct inquiries to the Head of Consulting, Christian Leder.

One of the goals of the project is to provide a systematized body of knowledge on Switzerland. The following table represents the heterogeneity in the composition of university councils. See also the download on the right.
