Academic structures
The students who voted for their representation in the academic structures did not reach the 15% threshold, thus causing a reduction of the places reserved to the students’ representation in the Council of Pshychology and Cognitive science.
The 15% threshold was not reached in the Department of Humanities either, but the number of representatives was not reduced because the number of candidates was lower thant the assigned places.
