Shared Access for Staff and Students

Universities bring together professors, researchers, administrative staff, and students. With PollUnit Organizations, everyone can collaborate in shared workspaces while keeping projects organized across departments, faculties, and student groups.

Invite lecturers, researchers, staff members, or students as organization members. They can use the university's PollUnit account to create surveys, organize elections and competitions, review submissions, and evaluate results together.

PollUnit Organizations are included with Business and Enterprise plans. Adding organization members does not incur additional per-user or seat-based fees, making collaboration across the university simple and cost-effective.

Example academic competition

Showcase Academic and Student Projects

Organize scientific poster competitions, student research awards, innovation challenges, design contests, photography competitions, and other academic events.

Students and researchers can submit their projects directly through PollUnit. Review entries collaboratively and select winners through jury evaluations, public voting, or a combination of both.

PollUnit is also ideal for art schools, design universities, music academies, film schools, and VFX programs. Students can submit portfolios, photography, audio recordings, videos, animations, and other creative work, while lecturers and juries evaluate projects through flexible review and voting workflows.
