Student and staff well-being - Well-Being competition

2 May 2022

The University of Pécs Medical School under the Well-Being pillar of the PotePillars strategy calls for applications for the “Development and implementation of a community-centred idea to support student and staff well-being”.

Student and employee well-being plays an important role in the life of an organisation. The need for this is of paramount importance in a dynamically developing faculty. The Well-Being pillar provides opportunities for everyone to maintain physical, mental, and spiritual health and to strengthen the faculty’s immune system. We would like to give the citizens of the faculty more opportunities to shape this community together and thereby create space for community needs and ideas.

The aim of the competition is to participate in the development of ideas that will improve and enhance the well-being of students and staff of Medical School.

The evaluation process of application:

Submission of applications

  • When submitting your application, you must provide a written presentation of the innovation you have in mind in the form of a summary document and a detailed budget. The application should describe the material, financial and human resources required and describe in detail how it will contribute to the faculty's Well-being concept.

Evaluation of applications

  • The evaluation committee, made up of Well-Being Pillar project leaders, will assess the degree of fit with the faculty's PotePillars strategy and will then recommend five of the five best ideas for implementation.
  • Preference will be given to those proposals that aim to create lasting and sustainable value for students and staff of the faculty, propose sustainable operations and future improvements, and provide a community experience.

Implementation of 5 selected proposals

  • In this phase, the ideas are implemented and the results are presented to the committee in the form of a video.
  • A maximum gross budget of 300 000 HUF per idea is available for the implementation of the application, which must ensure the achievement of a community experience and its long-term sustainability. The budget may be used to cover material, equipment and staff costs.
