What is the National Co-determination Helpdesk?

The Loket Medezeggenschap (LMZ) is an initiative of ISO, LSVb, UNL and VH, with support from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). The Helpdesk provides support to all participation council members in higher education, from staff to students, with any questions they may have about participation. It does so by drawing on the expertise of the various organisations involved and the direct experience of the Loket team, who have also been active in co-determination councils themselves.

The Knowledge Base

The Loket is building an extensive knowledge base for co-determination council members over the course of its existence. This knowledge base contains information on a wide range of topics you may encounter as a co-determination council member.

Whether it’s about how to structure a meeting, how to keep track of a dossier, or when (and especially how) to engage in a dispute – you can turn to the knowledge base for guidance. Even the most seasoned co-determinatio council members are likely to discover something new there.
