  • Vadå ”Ej Servering”
    Uppsala 2016-10-26 UPPSALAS STUDENTNATIONER Genom samarbete i Kuratorskonventet Antagen av Kuratorskonventet 2009-12-16 Ändrad 2016-11-16 Policy om nationsstatus Syfte Denna policy har till syfte att för nationerna, Uppsala universitet och övriga intressenter deklarera vad en nation är, vilken verksamhet nationerna bedriver och vad som i övrigt berättigar till status som nation, utöver vad som föreskrivs i Högskolelagen (1992:1434). Omfång Denna policy har antagits enhälligt av nationernas samarbetsorgan, Kuratorskonventet, som innefattar samtliga nationer vid Uppsala universitet. Policyn omfattar detta dokument. Bilagor gäller ej som policy. Nationer vid Uppsala universitet är: Stockholms nation, Uplands nation, Gästrike-Hälsinge nation, Östgöta nation, Västgöta nation, Södermanlands-Nerikes nation, Västmanlands-Dala nation, Smålands nation, Göteborgs nation, Kalmar nation, Värmlands nation, Norrlands nation och Gotlands nation. Bakgrund Nationerna vid Uppsala universitet har under lång tid, allt sedan 1600-talet, haft en stark koppling till Uppsala universitet. Den studiesociala verksamheten, Inspektorsämbetena, medverkan vid akademiska ceremonier och andra samverkansformer har historiskt sett markerat samhörigheten med Uppsala universitet. Kår- och nationsobligatoriets avskaffande den 1 juli 2010 föranledde att nationerna vidtog en rad åtgärder för att långsiktigt säkra sin fortlevnad. Att tydligt deklarera vad som är en nation och vilken typ av verksamhet en nation bedriver visar varför nationerna vid Uppsala universitet är allmännyttiga. Nationerna utgör sammanslutningar av studenter inom vilka individens rätt att organisera sig och utforma sin egna studiesociala situation oavsett bakgrund, kön och ålder tas tillvara. Nation vid Uppsala universitet ska - Rikta sin huvudsakliga verksamhet mot och vara öppen för studenter som bedriver eftergymnasiala studier vid universitet eller högskola i Uppsala. - Vara politiskt och religiöst obunden.

  • Arkiverande Studenter Om Arkivhanteringen Vid Studentnationerna I Uppsala
    Arkiverande studenter Om arkivhanteringen vid studentnationerna i Uppsala Mikael Larsson Institutionen för ABM Uppsatser inom arkivvetenskap ISSN 1651-6087 Magisterexamensarbete, 15 högskolepoäng, 2010, nr 64 Författare/Author Mikael Larsson Svensk titel Arkiverande studenter – om arkivhanteringen vid studentnationerna i Uppsala English Title Archiving students – on the archival management at the Student Nations in Uppsala Handledare/Supervisor Reine Rydén Abstract The purpose of this study has been to examine the archival management at the 14 Student Nations in Uppsala. This may be relevant to study to extend the research in the field that Berndt Frediksson calls “empirical archival science”. Another reason is that the Student Nations hold a unique position as organisations and their archivists holds a unique position from a professional point of view as they mostly consist of students without professional archivist training. I have mainly focused on why the archival management at the Nations looked as they did. The main method that was used in the study was semi-structured interviews where I interviewed the archivists at all of the Nations. The functions of the archives of the Nations were the same as for other societies, with the exception that these archives also were used by officials and other members as a support for finding ideas about how to run the Nation today in several ways. The archival regulations and practices that were generally followed by the Nations were the same as for societies in general, that is, among other things, the use of “Allmänna arkivschemat” (the Swedish standard archival finding aid subject heading system) and other Swedish archival standards.

  • Nationsobligatoriets Avskaffande - Strategier Inför En Avreglering
    Uppsala Universitet 2010-01-14 Företagsekonomiska institutionen Magisteruppsats Handledare: Phillip Kappen Nationsobligatoriets avskaffande - strategier inför en avreglering Författare: John Eriksson Tomas Wahlgren Vi vill tacka vår handledare Philip Kappen för all hjälp under arbetets gång. Vi vill även rikta ett varmt tack till alla förste kuratorer som deltagit i studien. Uppsala den 14 januari 2010 John Eriksson Tomas Wahlgren Sammandrag Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i att kår- och nationsobligatoriet den 1 juli 2010 ska avskaffas. Det blir då frivilligt för studenter vid Uppsala universitet att vara medlem i någon studentnation. Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka Uppsalas studentnationers uppfattning av deras marknadsposition och hur väl deras strategier inför kårobligatoriets avskaffande överensstämmer med denna. Syftet är även att utifrån ett teoretiskt perspektiv rörande tjänsteleverantörers strategier i samband med avregleringar, analysera vilka strategiska åtgärder nationerna prioriterar i samband med kårobligatoriets avskaffande. En teoretisk referensram rörande tjänsteleverantörers strategiska åtgärder har använts i detta syfte och operationaliserats i uppsatsens metod. Uppsatsens forskningsansats är av kvalitativ natur och personliga semistrukturerade intervjuer har utförts med förste kuratorer på sex av studentnationerna. Studiens resultat visar att det finns en relativt hög överensstämmelse mellan nationernas uppfattning av deras marknadsposition och deras strategiska åtgärder inför kårobligatoriets avskaffande.

  • Developing Generic Competences Outside the University Classroom
    Developing generic competences outside the university classroom MARIA YAROSH ANNA SERBATI AIDAN SEERY (eds.) Developing generic competences outside the university classroom GRANADA 2017 This book aims to support those working with university students outside the formal context and willing to help students better develop any or all of the following seven generic competences – competences relevant for any higher education graduate regard- less of the specialisation chosen: • Communication • Intercultural Competence • Teamwork • Social Entrepreneurship • Leadership • Project Development and • Conflict Transformation Management It also seeks to contribute to the valorisation of learning that happens in non-formal or informal contexts and to the adoption of transparent mechanisms for recognition of such learning.
