Dagordre

Dagordre is a term found in some Scandinavian language contexts used to denote the list of items scheduled for discussion or action during a single day, typically within a meeting, council, or other formal gathering. The word is formed from dag meaning “day” and ordre meaning “order” or “agenda.” While related terms exist in nearby languages, dagordre itself is less common and may appear as a regional, historical, or specialized variant.

In practice, a dagordre serves as the daily agenda or order of business, outlining topics to be considered, speakers or presenters, and time allocations. It helps define the procedural flow of proceedings and is usually prepared by a secretary or presiding officer and circulated to participants before a meeting to aid preparation and minuting.

Spelling and usage vary by country and institution, so dagordre is often encountered alongside other terms such as dagorden, dagordning, or dagordren, each corresponding to the standard word for “agenda” or “order of business” in its respective language. The core concept remains the same across variants: a structured list of issues to be addressed on a given day.
