Department of Academic Administration (AF) at the department of public relations and events (SSA) will acquire an IT system to support the University of Oslo's work with public relations and alumnus activity.
SSA is working on the following definition of public relations:
The systematic work we are doing to build, maintain and develop relationships with people, businesses and governments that have implications for how the university solves its tasks.
University has about 110 000 living alumni (defined as persons with a degree from the University of Oslo). In the previous alumna database had 12 000 alumni enrolled. LinkedIn has 83 000 users indicated that they have education from the University.
In autumn 2015 UiO carried out a survey of existing cooperation with industry. The survey shows that the University has established cooperation with nearly 400 enterprises. The number of partners in the public sector is assumed to remain at the same level (including cooperation with schools, hospitals, ministries and directorates).
A review of the University of Oslo's calendar of events shows that the University within a year had close to 2000 events that were open to the public.
SSA wishes to procure a system that facilitates the collection and updating of contact information for alumni and businesses University cooperates with, and a system that facilitates coordination, planning and implementation of activities and events for these groups.
