Who owns The Innovationshøjskole?

There has been a question about the ownership of Innovationshøjskolen. Innovationshøjskolen is an independent institution. This means that it is characterized by
a) it assets is irrevocably separated from the founders or depositors assests,
b) it has one or more purposes described in its statute,
c) it has an autonomous and independent leadership, and
d) it is intended to operate over a longer period under the general fund legal regulation or an indefinite period established in the statute.

Innovationshøjskolen is therefore own by it's self.

If Innovationshøjskolen one day decide to stop operations and liquidate Innovationshøjskolen, then the assets go to public and charitable purposes.

It is only the representatives that can decide to stop operations and liquidate Innovationshøjskolen.

Innovation in the public sector

The public sector facing these years a number of major challenges such as aging, labor shortages and an increased expectations of a demand-oriented, individually tailored public. If these challenges and wishes shall be successfully met, the public sector requires a strong focus on innovation.

To create this strong focus on innovation we need to create an innovative thinking public sector that has an eye for efficiency, quality and service that match the welfare and quality of life the Society expects or may have to accept.

We might also have to reinvent the welfare and quality of life that the public sector provide.
