The Lublin Student Council is an innovative and unique advisory body in Poland, established to represent the academic community and provide insights and recommendations to the Mayor of Lublin. It comprises 26 members, including representatives from three international student organizations (AIESEC, ELSA, and IFMSA) and nine universities in Lublin: Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lublin University of Technology, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Medical University of Lublin, WSEI University, Vincent Pol University in Lublin, University College of Enterprise and Administration in Lublin and Academy of Social and Medical Sciences in Lublin.
The Council was formed to address various academic and student-related issues within the city, providing a platform for students to actively participate in decision-making processes affecting their community. This initiative is a response to the need for greater student engagement and representation in city governance, especially given the significant student population in Lublin.
The Council’s innovative approach includes promoting Lublin as a desirable study destination, supporting the recruitment of both Polish and international students, and fostering cooperation among local universities. Additionally, it works towards the internationalization of Lublin’s academic institutions and strengthens student integration through various initiatives and events.
