mötesmiljöer

Mötesmiljöer refer to the physical and virtual settings in which meetings take place. The term is used in Sweden to describe spaces designed for group interaction, collaboration, or decision making. Physical mötesmiljöer can range from traditional conference rooms and boardrooms to flexible open‑plan areas, breakout rooms, or outdoor settings. Key characteristics of a well‑designed physical meeting space include adequate lighting, acoustics, comfortable seating, clear sightlines, ergonomic chairs, and technological infrastructure such as projectors, video‑conferencing systems and writable surfaces. Accessibility for people with disabilities is also an important consideration.

Virtual mötesmiljöer are hosted on digital platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Webex. These environments rely on software features that support audio and video communication, screen sharing, breakout sessions and real‑time collaboration tools like shared whiteboards or document editing. In a purely virtual meeting, the quality of internet connection, noise levels in participants’ surroundings, and user interface usability can greatly influence the effectiveness of the session.

Hybrid mötesmiljöer combine physical and virtual elements, enabling attendees in a room to participate simultaneously with remote participants. Design guidelines for hybrid spaces emphasize high‑quality cameras, microphones, and displays that allow all participants to see and hear each other clearly, as well as a unified agenda management system.

The choice of mötesmiljö influences the meeting’s tone, engagement level and outcome. As such, organisations invest in evaluating their meeting spaces and protocols to align with modern collaboration needs, ensuring that both physical design and digital infrastructure support face‑to‑face and remote interactions efficiently.
