About the Participatory Budgeting
Your voice on the common good!
What is the Participatory Budgeting of WUM Medical University of Warsaw?
Participation means joint activity. The Participatory Budgeting is an initiative of the Rector of WUM through which members of our academic community can decide how to spend some of the University’s financial resources. Under the Participatory Budgeting procedure, every student, PhD student or staff member will have the opportunity to present and then choose projects to be pursued.
Why was it established?
The University is a community. Through Participatory Budgeting, together we can decide about things to change at and around the school. Such an initiative is an opportunity to identify and respond to the essential needs of our community. It will also support community integration and strengthen the people’s identification with the school.
What kinds of projects can be submitted?
- Useful for the broadly defined academic and non-academic circles
- Aimed at improving quality, work and study comfort by providing adequate equipment, or minor overhauls
- Contributing to strengthening the University’s infrastructure (small investments/overhauls and purchases)
- Concerning culture, education, sports, development, arts, etc.
These are just some examples of potential actions. Only we decide about the final scope of the projects.
One applicant can only submit one draft project with a list of 10 supporters. Projects are submitted on an electronic form available at budzetpartycypacyjny.wum.edu.pl.
Each voter can vote for not more than 3 projects included in the voting sheet.
