Partnerships
The Västra Götaland Region is a co-founding partner of Wexsus, which means that it holds a seat on the Wexsus steering group. In addition, public organisations are offered the opportunity to become associated partners of Wexsus and contribute to the development of new projects and initiatives within Wexsus’ so-called partner group. Several public organisations have already chosen this form of collaboration.
Actors from other sectors of society, including industry and civil society organisations, will also be offered opportunities to engage in different forms of partnership.
Ownership
Wexsus is a consortium consisting of the owners Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg and University West. The highest decision-making body is Wexsus general meeting, which consists of the three rectors.
Secretariat
The director has the strategic and operational responsibility for Wexsus' operations and leads the daily operations of the secretariat together with the deputy director.
Wexsus' office is located at Aschebergsgatan 44 in Gothenburg, where about 20 people work.
