The FSHS has streamlined its organisational structure, with the new structure being effective since the beginning of March 2026. Now the FSHS is also reorganising the way it works with its stakeholders. Regional Management Teams have been done away with, and to replace them the FSHS is founding Regional Cooperation Networks, to which it will be inviting one representative from each higher education institution, student union and wellbeing services county in the region.
Meetings convened for these networks are going to help launch and maintain various forms of local cooperation between higher education institution communities and wellbeing services counties to support study community work. The networks will help build shared understanding and generate knowledge, collaborative solutions and new ideas for development to meet the FSHS’s regional needs and to be used in its regional activities. The FSHS will also use these networks to carry out study community work together with higher education institutions. Network meetings will have the right to put forward initiatives regarding FSHS activities.
The networks will be organised regionally as listed below:
