Public Council

Objectives of Public Council

The overall objective of Public Council is to define a program for stakeholder engagement, including public information disclosure and consultation, throughout the construction, project and other university activities, and operation of the proposed projects. It outlines the ways in which the project will engage national, international and regional stakeholders, current students, future students, faculty, researchers  and provide them with a mechanism through which people can raise concerns, provide feedback, or make positive and negative complaints about the project(s) themselves and participate in university decision making in general.

The circle of Stakeholders in Public Council 

Stakeholder engagement process for the project has started from identification, mapping and analysis. It is anticipated that this SEP will help clarify the stakeholder identification procedure at the national level and regional level for the forthcoming stages. The following criteria, adjusted to take account of local specific conditions, are being followed for the identification of stakeholders:

Liability: Project/activity implementation and/or on-going operations may result in legal, financial or other liabilities of the proponent to a social group, local communities;
Influence: A social group may be able to substantially influence project implementation or on-going operations;
Partnership: There are opportunities for building partnership relations between the project developer and a given social group in the framework of the project implementation or on-going operations;
Dependency: Project implementation may significantly affect a given social group, in particular, it may affect vital interests of its representatives if they are dependent on the project on-going operations in economic or financial terms;
Representation: A social group may have a right to represent interests with regard to a project or on-going operations, and this right is legitimated through legislation, custom and and/or cultural specifics;
Expressed interest: A social group and/or individual may express interest to a project or on-going operations, and this group is not necessarily directly affected by the planned or current activities
