There is currently no exact information on when Primula will be available again. The National Government Service Centre (Statens Servicecenter) has drawn up a plan for a gradual start-up, which means that salary consultants at the National Government Service get access to the system in the first place to be able to process cases in the system. Then customer authorities are released in stages. When the University of Gothenburg receives a signal that Primula is working again, internal work will be carried out to take certain security measures. The National Government Service has communicated that Primula is expected to be sufficiently recovered that the February salary will be paid. As a preventive measure, both the National Government Service and the university are preparing to activate a reserve salary routine should the need arise.

At the turn of the year, a few changes were introduced regarding some of the University-wide bodies. Within the Research Board, a new quality committee will develop the University’s research quality. A preparatory body is set up within the University Board of Education, for issues relating to digitization in education. A collaboration group for increased exchange of experience on international student recruitment is also formed within the University Board of Education. The Board’s committee for doctoral education is replaced by a Council for Doctoral Education. It will co-operate with both the University Board of Education and the Research Board.
Further info about councils and committees are available on the Staff Portal.
