About the Institutional Councils (IR)
To organize research and education, Hanken has four institutions, active on both campuses. An institution is led by a Head and an Institutional Council, with the Head serving as the chair of the council. The Institutional Councils, also known as IR, function similarly to a general meeting for the institution.
The tasks of the Institutional Councils include:
- Developing, monitoring, and evaluating the institution’s activities
- Proposing teaching plans
- Proposing the institution’s budget
- Proposing a personnel plan for the institution and making proposals regarding the recruitment of teaching and research staff
- Providing statements on education and research issues upon request
- Ensuring that Hanken’s quality assurance processes are followed, handling systematic student feedback, and monitoring how students achieve the programs’ learning goals and proposing or implementing necessary changes based on the evaluations
An Institutional Council has nine members in addition to the Head. Three members represent the professors, three represent other teachers and researchers, and three represent the students at the institution. Deputies are appointed for each group. All subjects within the institution must be represented on the council.
As a student representative, you have the opportunity to directly influence your education. Additionally, you will gain experience in meeting techniques and advocacy, the chance to expand your network within Hanken, and a prestigious position to add to your CV. You will also receive a stipend of 25€ per meeting!
In return, you are expected to attend one to two meetings per month, inform the other student representatives about current issues, and be available to students who have questions and concerns about their education.
