Board of Directors

DeiC is managed by a Board of Directors, which is responsible for the overall and strategic management and operation of the collaboration on behalf of the universities. The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science approves the board's strategic and fundamental decisions of a financial or legal nature.

The Board of Directors consists of a chairman and eight members. The chairman and board members can be members of the board for a maximum of eight years.

Each of the eight universities appoints a representative from its senior management as a member of the board. The individual board member handles DeiC's interests.

The Danish Universities' Rectors' College jointly appoints a chairman of the board with knowledge of digital research infrastructure and experience with strategic management from one of the Danish universities. The chairman must not be employed at the host university.

Recommendations for the period 2018-2028, in light of the digitalization and globalization of research

DeiC's Board of Directors and Executive Board prepared a set of recommendations for a coherent e-infrastructure to promote Danish research in spring 2017.

Analysis report: Digital infrastructure for world-class research 2025

At the request of the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Higher Education and the Rectors' Council, DeiC has prepared an analysis report on digital infrastructure for research focusing on three areas:

  1. A needs mapping based on an assessment of researchers' current needs and an assessment of the needs in a five-ten-year perspective.
  2. A benchmark of national solutions in a number of comparable countries, including organizational model and economy.
  3. An analysis of European developments in the area.

The report was delivered to the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education on 20 December 2017, and will be part of the knowledge base that will form the basis for discussions on a common strategy for national e-infrastructure collaboration for the period 2019-2029.
