The fourth edition of the Academic Civic Budget of the University of Gdańsk and the second edition of the Green University are launched - submit your ideas!

Academic Civic Budget of the University of Gdańsk (‘ABO UG’/’ACB UG’) is a project in which students, PhD students and employees of the University of Gdańsk will be able to submit their ideas for the development of the University from the April 1, 2025. The competition is open to infrastructure projects – both investment and renovation projects, as well as projects involving the purchase of materials, equipment and facilities.

Excluded from the list of projects submitted to the ABO UG are projects whose main purpose is the organization of events, for example cultural, sports or social events, as well as so-called “green projects,” which can be submitted to the Green University of Gdańsk competition, which takes place simultaneously.

For non-Polish speakers interested in submitting a project in the Academic Civic Budget, we will explain the rules of participation and provide assistance in completing the project application.

For the 2025 edition, a pool of funds of PLN 200,000 has been allocated, divided equally into PLN 100,000 for projects submitted by students and PhD students, and PLN 100,000 for those submitted by employees.

Projects can be submitted electronically through the student portal and employee portal or online at abo.ug.edu.pl. Green University of Gdańsk is a competition carried out within the framework of the SEA-EU 2.0 project financed by Erasmus+ funds, supporting the UG's green transformation through a number of activities, indicated in the competition regulations. The aim of the initiative is to encourage the academic community of the University of Gdansk to participate in the ecological and social transformation of our campus. A gross amount of PLN 80,000 is earmarked for the implementation of projects in the second edition of the competition . The cost of implementing a single project cannot exceed PLN 40,000.

Employees, students and doctoral students submit their projects in mixed teams, consisting of at least one student or doctoral student and one academic teacher or administrative employee of UG, which is a prerequisite for participation in the competition.

Projects can be submitted electronically through the student portal, or online at zielony.ug.edu.pl.

Authors of both contests have until April 30 to submit their ideas. Voting for projects in both contests will take place from October 20-27, and the results will be announced in early November this year.

We encourage active participation in both initiatives!
