Background:
- Organisation and leadership:
- The recommended division size is 10-30. The ST division is currently at 51 (and growing) which indicates that a split in two (or more) groups would get us to within that range. What would be a reasonable basis for a regrouping?
- Education:
- What are the most important curriculum development needs in the Software Technology area and how can we make sure they are fulfilled?
- Positions:
- The plan is to announce two faculty positions early 2015 with starting date 2015-08-15. (Pending approval from Chalmers centrally.)
- Research funding:
- We have been very successful in acquiring grants the last few years, but keeping this up will be a challenge. How should we structure our work to continue our winning streak?
- PhD education:
- Should we have a set of recurring PhD level courses in the ST area? Structured forms for international exchange?
- Software technology -> the world (technology transfer)
- How to "support" open source software development
- Open access publications
- Industry contacts
For this session we will discuss in four working groups: group chair in bold

| 0.2 | DHoD | Deputy Head of Department |
| 0.2 | VPref.Fo | Vice head of department for graduate education |
| 0.2 | VPref.Gru | Vice head of department for BSc+MSc education |
| 1-3 | HoDi@ST | Head of the division of Software Technology |

| 0.4 | MPA.CS@GU | Programme Director of Computer Science, 120hec, at GU |
| 6-8 | Total | ST Division "share" |
Currently (2015-02-01) we have 6 of these roles at ST: GeSc, JvHa, PaJa, DaSa, WoAh, MoJo and we can assume we will need to cover 6-8 roles also on long term. The usual term is 3y+3y but some things change more often so perhaps 8/4y = 2 new roles per year is a good estimate.
If we spread these roles evenly over the ~15 ST employees with long enough contracts to pick from we get almost half a role each. Or in other words, over an 7.5y period you should expect to "serve" for around three years.
Information:
- Chalmers central HoD meeting (prefektmötet) 2015-01-21:
- Supervisor Forums II give you the opportunity to reflect upon your role as a supervisor together with other supervisors at Chalmers. The focus in Supervisor Forums is relationship and communication.
