Winners of the first edition of MUW participatory budgeting

The five winning initiatives concern the creation of relaxation zones for students in various locations of MUW. They received the most votes and will be financed from a pool of PLN 200,000 earmarked for MUW participatory budgeting this year.

Projects with the highest number of votes

The submitted projects were reviewed on their merits, and then went to a vote. There were 21 projects on the list, and each community member could vote for three ideas.

It was decided by a majority of votes (the participatory budgeting committee verified the results, while the rector signed them) that the following initiatives would receive funds for implementation:

  • Purchase of furniture items for arranging the studying and relaxation space at the Library and Information Center Reading Room (648 votes cast);
  • Supply of functional furniture and multimedia equipment for the Faculty of Pharmacy building hall, arrangement of a relaxation space (462 votes cast);
  • Work- life balance – active leisure, recreation and creative studying area at Dorm no. 1 of WUM Medical University of Warsaw (435 votes cast);
  • Work&chillout area at Litewska (298 votes cast);
  • Student Escape: Oasis of Calm and Inspiration (282 votes cast).

 

 

The Rector has approved the selected initiatives, and now it is time to implement them. Due to the preparation of the design, tender and supply projects, the finalisation of the work is planned for the beginning of the new academic year.

Projects that do not qualify for implementation will be able to be re-submitted to the next edition of the participatory budget. There is also a chance that some of them will be financed from other sources.
