IV Participatory Budget (2024)

Un participatory budget It is an instrument that allows participatory democracy to be incorporated in the definition of certain expenditure items, so that the members of a community decide freely and directly the destination of a part of the budget.

To apply this practice to ESI budget for the year 2024, a procedure is established through which the university community of the ESI will first present its proposals for projects of academic interest to be financed, these will then be evaluated in order to detect those that could be redundant or not viable due to regulatory or technical issues and, finally, the accepted proposals will be voted on and chosen.

So the participation of the staff and students of the ESI can occur in two ways: presenting proposals and, later, voting on the set of proposals made.

The amount of the participatory budget for fiscal year 2024, the fourth in which this formula is applied, amounts to 5.000 €.
