The process of preparing the next strategic plan for the University of Tartu to set the university's objectives will take place from spring 2024 to the spring/summer of 2025.
The forthcoming strategic plan will help the university to adapt to and cope with major societal changes, such as an ageing population, security and foreign policy, technological developments and society's expectations of researchers and the national university. The aim is to draw up a strategic plan that will enable the university to continue to meet its legal and statutory objectives on its 400th anniversary, in the changed time and space.
The new strategic plan is prepared in two stages: strategic objectives are formulated in spring and autumn 2024, and established in autumn 2024 and spring 2025.
The first stage is carried out by the strategic planning committee, who will also involve the university family, the senate and the council, as well as external experts and partners to obtain necessary information. University staff will be informed about the process via the university's internal channels.
In the autumn, seminars on the selected strategic objectives will be organised, in which researchers, support staff and students are invited to contribute. The purpose of the seminars is to collectively agree on what the university and each of its units, support units, institutes and staff need to do to achieve the objectives.
The university's strategic plan will be approved by the university council, who asks for feedback to it from the university senate.
The strategic plan will serve as the basis for the annual action plan. The current strategic plan can be found on the university website.
