1 Strategy for the University of Stavanger Adopted by the UiS board on 13 June 2013, amended 3 October 2013
2 Introduction Our institution has developed rapidly over the past 15 years. We achieved national status as a university in 2004, and international recognition in 2012 through admission to membership of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU). By attaining the goals detailed in our Strategy , we want to enhance our profile and stand out even more clearly in the Norwegian and international university landscape. During the strategy period, we will strengthen our position as an attractive centre of learning and as an innovative university with the distinctive features conveyed by our profile. We will do this in collaboration with professional partners nationally and internationally, and with the external partners who are important for our ability to fulfil our societal mission. We have accordingly given emphasis in Strategy , based on our desired direction of development (vision), to profile and quality building which aim to: a) integrate innovation and entrepreneurship even further in the portfolio of study programmes, b) strengthen our commitment to active learning and modern forms of teaching, c) intensify our internationalisation efforts, d) achieve better throughput in study programmes, e) strengthen the commitment to top level research, f) increase recruitment of MA/MSc and PhD students, g) strengthen our overall expertise, h) maintain close collaboration with society regionally, nationally and internationally to help enhance our visibility and reinforce researchbased innovation and value creation, and i) increase external financing. Disciplines where we have special strengths have been highlighted as priority areas in the strategy. Good and important work is also being done in many areas which are not specifically mentioned. We want to continue developing this commitment. Attaining our goals will call for hard work, willingness, collaboration, respect and trust from staff and students, from the region and from national and international partners. I will play my part.

The University of Stavanger will be a driving force in knowledge development in its own region, and an international research university with emphasis on creativity and innovation. Mission The core values of the University of Stavanger rest on a fundamental concept which we have adopted as our mission statement and our motto: We will challenge the well known and explore the unknown. Core values As an institution built on democratic values and with ethical awareness, we will protect our academic tradition and integrity and safeguard our ideals of freedom of expression and equality regardless of worldview, culture and gender.
4 Our core values will govern our behaviour in encounters with students, staff and society, and tell us how we will attain our vision and our goals as a university. We value and strive to attain the following. Value creation We will move boundaries for knowledge and skills, and help to create value for students, staff and society. We will meet society s needs and challenges with openness and contribute to creativity and innovation in order to strengthen the basis for quality of life, good living conditions and sustainable development. Drive We will set the agenda for important issues and be active participants in academic and social debates. In keeping with our mission and our motto, we will challenge established truths and explore new areas. This motivation will characterise our activities, and we will work hard to attain the goals we have set for ourselves. Knowledge Students and staff will find insights and gain wisdom through study, research, artistic development and dissemination/communication to the benefit of the individual and society. Academic study will be a voyage of discovery which develops the ability to think critically and to take good decisions in and outside working life, and which motivates lifelong learning. Collaboration Collaboration between staff and with students will contribute to a continuous enhancement of study programmes and research. We will seek collaboration regionally, nationally and internationally with business, government, and education and research institutions for mutual development of knowledge. Energy Energy has a double meaning for us. This value illustrates our close association with our innovative and energetic region, which provides an important foundation for success nationally and internationally. Commitment, energy and enthusiasm by students and staff will also be the driving force within our organisation for good academic results and a positive environment. Profile: an innovative university We are an innovative university with distinctive characteristics which we will manifest, cultivate and further develop across our full academic range. We will offer popular study programmes with the main emphasis on technology and professional qualifications in an attractive learning environment. We will reinforce our commitment to active and innovative learning, and work actively to strengthen teaching quality. We will further develop a culture for innovative and entrepreneurial activities and focus our research efforts. We will give priority to dissemination and museum activities. We will express the competitive advantages we possess from our location in an innovative growth region with strong international elements. We will pursue close collaboration with our region and be a key player in its development, and we will be internationally oriented in the continued development of our academic activities.
5 Our portfolio of study programmes consists primarily of multidisciplinary and careeroriented courses in technology, education, health and social care, economics and management, hotel management and tourism, and art, culture and media. The single discipline subjects (sciences, social sciences and languages) represent an important foundation for our multidisciplinary courses. Our research efforts are largely directed at the social sectors we educate for. Basic research is central to all our PhD fields. Our research areas with the highest profile are petroleum and offshore technology, risk management and societal safety, behavioural science and literacy. Academic priorities Our academic priorities are concentrated on the disciplines where we are strong in both teaching and research. These have yielded research teams which represent national centres of excellence in their field, and which work at an internationally recognised level. They are characterised by a broad portfolio of study programmes at BA/BSc, MA/MSc and PhD levels, and play a key role in developing our vision of being an international research university with the emphasis on creativity and innovation. Engineering studies, teacher training, economics and management subjects, and health and social care courses are particularly important to our profile as a university with the main emphasis on technology and professional qualifications. We are ready to accept greater national responsibility for educating the labour resources required nationally and regionally in these areas. Our teaching will be research based. Publication, work in established research centres, and regional, national and international collaboration are important in efforts to enhance the quality of these study programmes. Priority will be given during the strategy period to integrate innovation and entrepreneurship in the portfolio of study programmes across faculties. We will have the following academic priority areas: petroleum and offshore related subjects risk management and societal safety education sciences In addition, we will develop these areas further: dissemination at the Museum of Archaeology health subjects economics and management subjects (including the Norwegian School of Hotel Management). Goals and strategic guidelines Education and the learning environment We will offer research based education of high international quality and learning outcomes which meet the needs of students, the labour market and society. We will be the regional leader for continuing and further education, and lay the basis for lifelong learning. Our students will acquire an insight into the research process through participation in research work. Teaching will
6 be varied and tailored to the subject, learning outcomes, and present and future generations of students. We will have at least one centre for outstanding education. Our educational activities will have an international orientation. We will have a good and universally structured learning environment, and have a reputation for good student services and active participation by students. Qualitatively good studies and an attractive learning environment will be the best guarantee for growth in the number of applicants.
