Strategic Goals
The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences is a large, ambitious knowledge organisation with a focus on the provision of excellent research and education.
Vision
Our vision is to move the boundaries for insight and to create new health and medical science knowledge and insights for the benefit of continuing scientific development, society and individuals.
It is absolutely crucial for this vision to be supported by strategic partnerships, a professional organisation, advanced infrastructure and a culture that builds on international standards for good scientific practice, freedom of research, involvement of personnel and students, and a focus on a good working life and studying environment.

The university strategy is implemented at he faculty through a target plan which describes the faculty's long-term targets and activities to deliver on prioritised strategic goals.
The target plan is revised annually through inclusive processes and discussed at two annual dialogue meetings between the Deanery and the Rectorate. Dialogue meetings are held twice a year with all the faculty's institutes (Dean's office/Department management) on strategic and resource priorities.
