Operation of ongoing activitys
During a center's operating period, operations are governed by both the center agreement and KTH's internal regulations.
During the centre's period of operation, its activities are governed by the centre agreement and KTH's internal regulatory framework. It follows from the latter that decisions and agreements relating to the centre's day-to-day activities, for example agreements to carry out a project within the framework of the centre's activities (including research agreements), are signed in accordance with KTH's delegation system in force at any given time.
A centre's term of office is usually between 5-10 years, during which time many changes will take place in the organisation. The Vice President for Research is the decision-maker in most decisions taken during this operational period. STRIV manages, prepares and recommends such decisions as concern the change of directors, managers and/or the accession of new partners.
