WRUT actions towards Full Costing 2006-2007 – a group of academic and administrative members is formed at the Management Department - Faculty of Computer Science and Management; 2007/2008 - pilot project performed at the Faculty of Architecture – analysis of costs of teaching using ABC method – evidence of usefulness of Full Costing; 2007-2009 – two doctoral theses regarding analysis of implementation of ABC method in universities are prepared;

5. WRUT actions towards Full Cost 2009 – „ABC based cost calculation method at universities” - development grant - financed by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education is won by the group; Leader: Prof.Dorota Kuchta Dorota.Kuchta@pwr.wroc.pl Period of realization: 2009 - 2012

6. WRUT actions towards Full Cost Purpose of the project: Elaboration of cost model based on ABC method and its pilot implementation at two faculties at WRUT

7. WRUT actions towards Full Cost Steps: 1.Current situation analysis at Polish universities 2.Analysis of implementation possibilities at Polish universities 3.Detailed identification of activities and business processes - analysis of their evaluation methods 4.Elaboration of ABC cost model 5.Analysis of functions necessary for computerized information system 6.Pilot implementation 7.Creation of managerial information 8.Analysis of usefullness of ABC cost model 9.Verification of ABC cost model

8. WRUT actions towards Full Cost 2009-2010 – Project at WRUT – „Analysis and optimization of operational, management and supporting processes at WRUT” From 2011 – implementation of strategic and operational changes in management system of WRUT Full Cost implementation should be one of the factors in managerial changes.
