How we work: Committees, meetings and networks
- Operations Committee
UCL’s Operations Committee is one of UCL’s formal committees. Members include the Heads of Professional Services, Faculty Directors of Operations and professional services representatives from Vice-President and Vice-Provosts Offices.
The role of Operations Committee includes overseeing and providing strategic direction for the Operations portfolio, monitoring progress on operational plans, and reviewing and escalating operational risks or decisions to the University Management Committee.
Further information including meeting dates, minutes, terms of reference and membership is available on UCL’s Governance and Compliance pages.
- Other formal committees
Professional Services are further represented through membership of a range of formal committees.
Meetings and networks
The following are not decision making groups and not part of any governance structure.
- Professional Services Leadership Team (PSLT)
PSLT is formed of the Heads of Professional Services, Faculty Directors of Operations and professional services representatives from each of our Vice-President and Vice-Provosts Office.
Chaired by the Vice-President (Operations), PSLT meets every month to share information across the group, to encourage collaboration and to share knowledge and good practice across UCL.

- Professional Services Leadership Group (PSLG)
PSLG membership comprises of PSLT and their direct reports, and Professional Services staff at Grade 10 and above.
Chaired by the Vice-President (Operations), PSLG meet approximately twice a term with each meeting focussed on either UCL-wide issues, or external issues that impact upon UCL.
