The Gdansk University of Technology has been awarded the "Engaged University Accreditation" certificate by the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU). As a result, it is among the three Polish universities that can proudly hold the title of an engaged university. The certificate is granted to higher education institutions that carry out effective and innovative initiatives focused on making a positive impact on the social environment.
This is currently the only accreditation that assesses the social impact of a higher education institution on its environment, the quality of collaboration with external partners, the implementation of social responsibility, including sustainable development goals. The accreditation process at Gdansk University of Technology started in October 2021 and consisted of several stages, including self-assessment reporting, site visits and evaluations, and the provision of required information.
