Fifth edition of ABO UG - Submit your idea of ABO project by 14 June 2026

This is already the 5th edition of ABO UG. In the four previous editions of the competition, 
12 projects have been completed on the university campuses in Gdańsk, Oliwa, and Sopot; five additional ideas, which proved to be the best last year, are currently in the preparation stage for implementation.

This year, we are facing several significant changes to the rules, including:

• elimination of the distinction between staff and student projects;
• inclusion of so-called “soft” projects (events) in the competitions;
• two project categories:
  • Infrastructure and Equipment – infrastructure-related ideas, including investment or renovation projects, as well as material projects involving the purchase of materials, devices, and equipment;
  • Events and recreation – cultural events (such as concerts, performances, exhibitions, picnics), competitions and sporting events, as well as social events and campaigns addressed to students, doctoral students, and employees of our University, excluding events of a purely academic nature (seminars, conferences, symposia, etc.),
• new allocation of funds:
  • total ABO UG fund: 200,000 PLN
  • category: Infrastructure and Equipment: 150,000 PLN
  • category: Events and Recreation: 50,000 PLN
  • maximum cost per project:
  • in the category: Infrastructure and Equipment: 70,000 PLN
  • in the category: Events and Recreation: 10,000 PLN

The rules and key information about the competition are available on the website abo.ug.edu.pl.

Authors have four weeks to submit their ideas, from May 18 to June 14 of this year.

Voting on projects in both categories will take place from October 19 to 26, and the results will be announced in early November of this year.

We encourage you to actively participate in our initiative.
