Subcommittees VU

Last updated on 24 June 2025

Whereas the Works Council exercises employee participation at the central level, the fifteen sub committees (ODC) of faculties and services do so at the decentralised level.

The Works Council established the ODs in consultation with the Executive Board. The rights and powers of the ODC's are defined in the , the , the OR Regulations and the Decree establishing them.

The subcommittees of the faculties and services are formally committees of the VU Works Council (OR). Through contact persons, the OR and its subcommittees keep each other informed about all kinds of relevant issues.

In addition, the faculty ODCs, together with the faculty student councils, form the so-called Faculty Joint Assemblee.
