The Alumni Wall: Write your name in history to support research at the Faculty of Economics and Business
The Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Barcelona (UB) has made the decision to open new sources of financing to continue promoting new projects. This new university sponsorship initiative (The Alumni Wall) is seeking help from former students to kick start high quality research, internationalisation and teaching projects.
Donations for funding Faculty projects will receive symbolic recognition: the Alumni Wall, where the names of those doing their little bit to support the projects will be displayed. The Faculty of Economics and Business hall (accessed via the street carrer John M. Keynes) will be home to a large wall featuring small plaques with the donors’ names. Private donations are, of course, a supplement and never replace public funds intended for university research and other projects.
First initiative
The first initiative linked to the Alumni Wall is a research project on the social determinants of obesity in Spain. Athina Raftopoulou, a PhD in Economics student, is behind the project. To obtain the €5,000 required to move the project forward, the Faculty is using the crowdfunding platform Verkami.
