Marek Pawełczyk, to be a candidate for the rector of the Silesian University of Technology.
I have developed a programme that sets out the necessary objectives and proposed methods for achieving them. I am open to its continuous enrichment.
I know the realities of the University and, respecting our Community, I do not make empty promises. I do, however, pledge to reach for bold goals.
I have always kept my word, respected the good name of the Silesian University of Technology and cared for our Community.
The university cannot be governed individually. For the functions of Vice Rectors, I propose people who are competent, open to dialogue and empathetic.
Students and doctoral students will be at the centre of all activities addressed to them. I will give equal respect to staff in each group. Everyone deserves to be appreciated and supported.
The implemented reforms must not be at anyone's expense. We will create the conditions for young, talented and ambitious people to choose the Silesian University of Technology as the place to build their future.
We will continuously improve all organisational arrangements to improve work and learning and to foster broad participation of our Community. We will update the provisions of the Statutes, corresponding to current realities.
We will offer support to the units that are in difficulties and engage in a wide-ranging discussion on improving the situation. We will successively modernise and create a flexible research infrastructure.
