The West University of Timișoara has always encouraged and supported its students to evolve and become the best version of themselves, promoting involvement in various extracurricular activities. Thus, now UVT offers its students a new opportunity: a program for the development of innovative projects - MyUVT.
The "MyUVT" program provides the framework, tools and resources necessary for the active participation of the UVT student community in the generation and implementation of innovative solutions that contribute to the achievement of the university's mission.
Through this program, UVT students can propose, as a team, projects through which innovative activities are implemented within the university, with the possibility of receiving funding for their implementation.
Teams proposing project ideas within the MyUVT program must be made up of 3-5 students of the Western University of Timișoara (UVT), without restrictions regarding the study program, form of education, year of study, academic performance, etc. We recommend that teams consist of students from at least 2 different study programs.
The project proposals must aim at the implementation in UVT of some activities that contribute to the achievement of the specific objectives of at least one of the following three priority strategic areas:
Digital – through solutions to digitize university processes (priority through the use of modern technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, etc.);
Green – through solutions oriented towards sustainable development, biodiversity, urban regeneration, circular economy, renewable energies;
Wellbeing – through solutions aimed at increasing the quality of life on the UVT campus (health, well-being, etc.).
