State of the ITU June 24, 2011
Overview Looking back at the past year University finances Current strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities (SWOT) On-going strategy processes, plans for the future and an appeal
Part I The past year
Example: Globalisation Overall, things are going well; 24 % of researchers involved in globally interactive research or teaching activities by the last count.
GOOD Increase in ExternalFUNDING External Research Funding, million DKK
Faculty and PhD-students From 2011, we admit fewer PhD students
”STARS WITH BRAINS” Henrik Skovsgaard
Part II Finances
CUTS in STATE BUDGET • Cuts have been done in April 2010 and again in the State Budget for 2011. • Each time, money were transferred from research funding to funding of teaching • ITU is affected in the following ways: • Decrease in funding available from research councils • Reduction in Base Funding
Public (DK) Researhspending 2012-2014 IT University is approx. 1% of the Danish univ. sector EU FP 7 budget for is 32365 billion 2007-2013 DK share 1.5% equals 520 mill DKK /year
FINANCES – BRIEF VERSION We are in keeping with the budget We will have to attract more research funding from new sources The budget is tight, yet we need to find money to invest in projects that will increase efficiency
Part III SWOT
OPPORTUNITIES: Areas of USE of ParticularInterest to Value Creation in Denmark • Health and Care • Energy • Education • Professionalisation of IT projects • Transportation • Construction and maintenance of buildings • Finance IT
Part IV Strategy, plans and an appeal
WHY STRATEGY MATTERS 2016 Now
On-GOING STRATEGY PROCESSES Communication strategy IT Strategy Strategy for Studies Research Strategy Overall ITU Strategy All of these are to be finished in the second half of 2011
When is the IT University big enough? EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT Concerning the OVERALL Strategy How can we strengthen the Business-angle of the ITU triangle? How do we ensure that the IT University is an attractive place to work for the people best qualified to achieve the vision of the university? Globalisation: How do we best further globally interactive teaching and research? How does the university get to the next step on the reputation ladder? How do we define the notion “strategic positions of strength”? Should the IT University increase its domain knowledge and impact in, say, energy, health, it-based teaching? How many PhD students should we admit? What needs to be done in order to ensure that the university can handle the growth in number of students and employees? How do we increase alignment? What should the equity be? What is ITU’s unique advantage in 2020? Should the ITU set as its goal to become the university which is most important for Denmark’s ability to create value with IT?
Strategic Themes (ITU overall) Globalisation Relationship with stakeholders in Denmark The size of the university Research and Teaching Profile of the university Development of the organisation Finances
Directions from the ITU Board • Try to develop (a few) positions of exceptional strength within teaching and research that are widely accepted as being very important to value creation in Denmark • Must develop new sources of external funding of research. Beware of stagnation.
