The Faculty Board has adopted principles for the allocation of funding for first- and second-cycle education. The distribution is based on HST (full-time equivalent students), HPR (full-time equivalent performance, calculated as a three-year average), as well as the scope of laboratory and field courses. Proposals from the departments are discussed in the Management Council and the Education Committee, with a final decision taken by the Faculty Board in June.
Another decision concerned target levels for agency capital from the 2026 financial year onwards. The target for each department is a maximum of 15 per cent agency capital in relation to total costs. For activities with an annual turnover of up to SEK 30 million, the maximum level is SEK 4.5 million.
The Board was informed about the full-year financial results for 2025 and also received an update on the financial conditions ahead of the 2027 budget.
The Board also received reports on ongoing work related to quality assurance and the development of education at first- and second-cycle level, as well as at doctoral level.
Additional updates from the Dean included the ongoing review of the physics subject, successes in strategic research areas (SFOs) in quantum physics and polar research, and continued work on a study centre with a consolidated library, including a Learning Lab.
