Governance
The governance of partnerships and enterprise refers to:
- the structures in place for decision making and accountability in relation to the direction and management of partnership and enterprise activity at the University; and
- the framework of policies, procedures and codes of practice which apply to partnership and enterprise activity.
Decision making and accountability

UPEC advises the Senate and the University Executive Board on strategy, approves internal policy and monitors the performance of the institution.
