Project Objective

As public services face increasing demands and complexity, the public sector is challenged to meet the evolving needs of citizens with limited resources. To address these challenges, there is a growing recognition of the importance of engaging citizens in co-creating public services and policymaking processes. Digitalization offers opportunities for such collaboration, and AI technologies have the potential to transform public services by improving efficiency, quality, inclusivity, and ethics.

In this year's edition of the ranking, Gdańsk Tech took a place in the 1001-1200 range. This position places it ex-aequo in 5th place in Poland. It received a total of 30.7-34.4 points (in the previous edition it was 28.3-32.6).

Gdańsk Tech, together with the AGH University of Science and Technology, are the highest ranked Polish technical universities in the THE WUR 2025.

The THE WUR 2025 uses 18 indicators grouped into five areas:

The World’s TOP 2% Scientists ranking is based on the scientific achievements of researchers, and the evaluation criteria include: the number of citations, the Hirsch index, or the position and role of a given researcher on the list of authors of the publication. The ranking consists of two lists: the first assesses scientific achievements taking into account the entire career of a given researcher, the second concerns the last calendar year.

The workshop opened with warm welcoming remarks from the organizer, Dr. Magdalena Ciesielska, followed by inspiring introductions from Prof. Michał Tomczak, Vice Dean for Cooperation and Development, and Prof. Tomasz Janowski, Head of the Department of Informatics in Management. Special greetings were extended to two scholars from Kyoto University, Dr. Jawad Haqbeen and Dr. Sofia Sahab, whose in-person participation contributed significantly to the richness of the discussions and exchanges.

The first meeting of the Senate in the new academic year is also the inauguration of the new term of office for the authorities of Gdańsk University of Technology - the rector, vice-rectors, deans and vice-deans. The ceremony will begin with a speech delivered by the Rector of Gdańsk University of Technology,  Prof. Krzysztof Wilde. It will be followed by the awarding of medals and distinctions to distinguished University employees. 

In this way, Gdansk University of Technology has become the first university in Poland and the first technical university in the world to have ACEEU accreditation in both the area of engagement and entrepreneurship! Work on obtaining both accreditations had been ongoing since October 2021. We received the first one – ACEEU Engaged University Accreditation – in June 2023. Work continued for another year to meet the ACEEU standards in the area of entrepreneurship, which was challenging for a technical university.
