Do you want to take part in shaping FEL or the entire CTU? Run for the Academic Senate

For employees For students

The elections for the CTU Academic Senate (AS CTU) and the student section of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Academic Senate (AS FEL) are approaching. If you want to influence the future of the university and our faculty, submit your candidacy by November 15th or come to vote. Voting will take place electronically from November 26th to 28th, 2024, at https://volby.cvut.cz.

In the AS CTU elections, one student representative from FEL will be elected for a two-year term. In the AS FEL elections, five students will be elected for a two-year term and thirteen academic staff members for a three-year term.

Elected senators of AS FEL have various powers, such as electing the dean every four years, selecting the scientific council, and overseeing the faculty's budget. The senators elected to AS CTU in these elections will vote for the new rector next autumn. With the role of senator comes responsibility.

Each elected representative has the opportunity to actively participate in shaping the faculty/university and advocate for their own topics with which they are running. "I worked closely on creating the role of ombudsman, created the participatory budget 'FEL Tobě, Ty FELu', and established 'TeST', which evolved into the 'Teacher's Club', a series of 13 discussions where teachers share their experiences," says Ph.D. student Ing. Martin Zoula, who does not intend to defend his mandate as a student representative in AS FEL this year. "Looking back on those two years in AS FEL, I am very satisfied, even though it ultimately required a bit more effort than I initially wanted. I look forward to the new senators and their work! At FEL, we are a broad community of students and researchers, and the senate is the place where we can influence and shape its functioning," he assessed his tenure.

Now is your time! Apply and help shape the future of our faculty. Interested parties can submit their candidacies electronically until November 15th, 2024, at 23:59. Documents must be sent from the faculty email (username@fel.cvut.cz) to the address volby@fel.cvut.cz. For more detailed information on how to submit an application, visit the page Elections – FEL CTU. The list of candidates will be published on November 18th, 2024, and the pre-election debate will take place on November 20th, 2024, from 16:15 to 17:45 in D3-209.
