In ten points, here is the work of all of us in the last two years!
-
The university 24h/24
A campus within student reach is made up of accessible spaces even in the evening hours: on the proposal of us at Svoltastudenti the hours of the central library of architecture and the aquarium have been extended until 11.30! at the base is the idea of a university always available, a university to live as are the best foreign universities, especially in northern Europe.

Merit and equal opportunities
The recognition and encouragement of merit are our workhorses: we have reiterated this by asking for more resources, but for an efficient and quality university; the best research must be rewarded, the quality of teaching evaluated.
The greatest success came with the approval of the MERIT FUND a great opportunity for all students, in which € 2,000,000 will be invested every year for the purpose of:
- support the equal opportunities of students, i.e. the possibility of accessing the highest degrees of studies regardless of the economic and social conditions of each one, with equal possibility of integrating one's cultural and human formation with extraordinary educational experiences;
- promote merit, that is, motivate students to work and express themselves for the best possible educational experience.

Charter of Rights and Duties
A charter full of fundamental principles was drawn up by the representatives: once again we reiterated the importance of rights, services and opportunities that are available to all students of the university.
Pragmatic ideas have been included: dates of appeals in advance of one semester, transparent and defined conditions of thesis work and international mobility at the start.

Erasmus Architecture
The Erasmus architecture office has been moved to via Golgi, 40: in the transition we have made an injection of transparency in the selection process and equal opportunities for all students!
Here's everything here and the detail here
-
Communication
Communicating to students is essential to convey the opportunities offered by the university.
And to continue to cultivate associations made of comparison, projects, ideas of teaching and university life.
Cultural stimuli at the university are close to our hearts and communication is the vector.
Extensive campaigns have been held by our group and a constant monitoring and review of current communication systems is underway with the administration.
-
Regulations and spaces
Revisions to the Student Council Regulations and the Criteria for Funding Cultural Activities have been made with the aim of maximizing the impact of the Representatives on the student universe and extending participation.
A precise attention was then paid to the spaces in the university: redevelopment projects are under discussion, starting from the BV Durando construction sites where with the U-Art event street art makes its way between identity, design and urban regeneration.
-
Taxes and contributions
The arduous issue of the Design Purpose Fee has been followed for a whole year: the amount will be reduced to 50% and 30% in the next two a.y. and reset by the following years.
The representatives will continue to participate in tables with the Indigo Department in what is now a good model of consolidated governance at all levels in the university.
Careful supervision has been made on the current student contribution: the 4% increase due to the new method of identifying the band will be counterbalanced by the zeroing of the inflation adjustment for the next two years; the extra revenue will also be invested in student services.
-
Didactics
Teaching is protected in its quality by our 35 Representatives in their respective Faculties: a first innovative element is the introduction of the LS in English to Leonardo Materials. This is followed by a proposal for merit incentives: reintroduction of the 30L, bonus on the final grade for those who obtain high scores in the English exam, double evaluation in thirtieths and ECTS.

The activities are the tool with which we interact with students, improve university life and extend the opportunities offered by PoliMI.
