Throughout the election, a supportive promotional campaign will accompany the election, focusing, among other things, on supporting women's candidacies.
Following the last meeting, the options for distributing the overflow from the budget reserve were discussed. In the end, Senators recommended to the Dean that the funds be transferred to the 2024 budget and be used for the same purpose as this year (to support departments that would find themselves in existential difficulties due to salary increases).
Subsequently, the Senate approved the conditions for admission to study programmes in English. Following this point, a discussion was held at the end on the possibility of reducing the tuition fee for English programmes to the minimum necessary and on the issue of the classification of project researchers in non-academic positions.
