We incorporate goal 4 – the quality of education – by:

  • Teaching activities targeted at our students, school pupils, and other stakeholders interested in lifelong learning.
  • Caring for the quality of the curricula and the constant development of our teaching skills and by incorporating business stakeholders in our curricula.

  • Developing responsibility among the leaders of next generations.
  • Caring for the organizational culture and the well-being of our employees at every organizational level.
  • Caring for the development of employees and supporting them at every stage of their professional and scientific carriers.
  • Improving our organization, its performance and achievements in every area of its activity.

We incorporate goal 9 – innovation and infrastructure – by:
