The Rectorsā Council is the highest decision-making body, providing strategic leadership. The council appoints a Director of the Arctic Five who reports to the Rectorsā Council.
The Director is located in the Arctic Five partner university hosting the Secretariat of the Arctic Five for a 2-year period (rotating between partners). The Director manages the coordination of collaborations within the Arctic Five, and arranges meetings of the Rectorsā Council and the Executive Team. In addition the Director chairs meetings of the Executive Team, coordinates with the Working Groups, and liaises with the Students’ Team.
The Executive Team is the main steering body of the Arctic Five and facilitates the work and takes appropriate actions in accordance with the Arctic Five Bylaws, partners policies and decisions of the Rectorās Council. The Executive Team also serves as primary contact point for Arctic Five related issues, both within and between Partners.
The Co-Director of the Arctic Five is also appointed by the Rectorsā Council and supports the Director in the coordination of collaborations. The main operative work is carried out in Working Groups and if required within targeted Task Force settings.
Each Arctic Five partner university has one seat on the Rectorsā Council, reserved for the Rector / Vice-Chancellor, or an appointed deputy.
