Abstract
The subject of this article is supervisory boards in European higher education. The analysis covers the process of shaping the idea of councils in various traditions of higher education, paying particular attention to the role they were assigned to building relations between universities and the external environment. This work is not only of historical nature, although a large part of it is devoted to the analysis of the discourse on the process of establishing and organizing councils in European universities. Its central element is the analysis of supervisory boards in universities in terms of their authority and responsibility, the manner of appointing/dismissing their members, accounting for a trustee and, above all, their composition, in particular, the participation of representatives of external stakeholders. In the last part - referring to the experience of other countries - the issue of potential challenges that arise for Polish higher education in relation to the publicly discussed possibility of establishing supervisory boards at Polish universities is addressed.References
