Vote for the best idea! How do we spend 14 000 euros on student wellbeing?

In autumn 2024, students were asked to come up with ideas on how the university should spend 14 000 euros to improve student wellbeing on campus. Now it's time to vote for the best idea to be implemented during spring 2025.

At the start of the 2024 academic year, Aalto University students were asked how they would like to use 14 000 euros from the university's budget to develop campus with the theme of wellbeing on the campus. The idea was based on the "one euro for every student" participatory budgeting project, organised annually at the university since 2021. The aim is to strengthen student wellbeing and develop the campus by involving students in decision-making.

This year, a very high number of ideas were received - almost 100. "It has been great to see how students have taken ownership of the project and every year we have received more and more good suggestions. This year again, all ideas were carefully considered. Those ideas that did not fit into the scope of this project were forwarded to the relevant authorities," says Minna Mäkitalo, Specialist, Policy and Foresight.

The project organisers (representatives from Aalto University, ACRE and Aalto University Student Union) selected four proposals for voting. The shortlisted proposals fulfilled the main criteria of the brainstorming process, i.e. promotion of student wellbeing, inclusiveness, accessibility, sustainability, budget framework and implementation schedule.

For more information on the participatory budgeting project, please contact Manti Kangas, Sustainability Coordinator, [email protected].

Vote for the best idea by 30.11.2024!

Now is the time to vote for the shortlisted ideas to be implemented on campus during spring 2025. Vote for the best idea using this voting form.

The winner will be announced in early 2025. You can see the proposals to vote for below.
