Co-financed projects
Co-financed projects
For many years we have been successfully raising European funds to carry out projects contributing to the development of Kozminski University, to the strengthening of its potential, and to building relationships with our socio-economic environment.
What do we offer
The Projects Office has been successfully raising external funds to carry out projects contributing to the development of Kozminski University, to the strengthening of its potential, and to enhancing its position both domestically and internationally. In recent years, we have obtained funds to implement IT systems, adapt the University’s infrastructure to the needs of people with disabilities, improve the overall level of competencies of the University’s staff, further students’ careers, launch new majors, and undertake many other activities involved in the co-creation of the Kozminski University ecosystem. Each new initiative is guided by the following idea: meaningful and comprehensive development, consistent with the University’s Development Strategy.
In addition to acquiring funds, the Projects Office supervises the entire project life cycle, i.e. it handles comprehensive project implementation in cooperation with other University units, including coordination, reporting, and monitoring. The experience we have gained so far has let us work out a set of internal rules of cooperation that bring expected results and make it possible to achieve synergy between the activities initiated and pursued by various organizational units of our University.
Since May 2021, our activities have additionally focused on promoting a project management culture among the University community (e.g. through training), in accordance with the methodology we have developed, and on transplanting this idea on to the implementation of internal activities.
At each stage of our work, we are guided by values forming the universal foundation of the identity and operations of Kozminski University, referred to as the “Kozminski’s Decalogue”.
We act based on 4 mottoes that guide us in our initiatives:
WE INSPIRE
- by showing the opportunities to fund ideas consistent with the strategic goals of the University
- by encouraging ideas related to improving the competencies of students, faculty members, and administrative staff
- by stimulating efforts aimed at undertaking joint initiatives for the development of the University and its community
WE DEVELOP
- by striving for excellence, which is one of KU’s key values
- by adopting state-of-the-art solutions, which improve the functioning of the University and contribute to its development
- by promoting the idea of cooperation between different units of KU
WE CHANGE
- by setting standards in project management, knowledge sharing, and building competitive advantage
- by acquiring funding for activities consistent with the University’s Development Strategy
- by implementing educational and developmental projects that have a positive impact on the day-to-day operations of the University
WE CONNECT
- the development needs with the possibilities of acquiring external funds
- people with passion and ideas, offering them extensive support in making their projects reality
- staff with students, building our strength as an academic community
