Awards Gala

As part of the EU Horizon 2020 project “Modifying Institutions by Developing Gender Equality Plans” (MINDtheGEPs), led by prof. dr hab. Ewa Łojkowska at the University of Gdańsk, a number of activities are being undertaken to implement the gender equality policy at our university, as set out in the Gender Equality Policy Implementation Plan at the University of Gdańsk – Equality Actions for 2022-2023.

One of the project’s activities is to award annual prizes for the highest-scoring master’s theses and doctoral dissertations, incorporating a gender perspective in the area of research. The call for applications for the second edition of the competition was announced in September, 2023. Graduates awarded a master’s or doctoral degree at the University of Gdańsk between 2022 and 2023 were eligible to apply for this award.

Four awards have been granted: for the highest-rated master’s and doctoral theses in the area of science and life sciences, and for the highest-rated master’s and doctoral theses in the areas of humanities and social sciences.

Small steps towards green transformation at HEI’s: progress and results of SEA-EU universities

Each partner presents the small steps undertaken or planned at their university, about 10 minutes for presentation, possibility to use a projector

Small steps towards green transformation at HEI’s: progress and results of SEA-EU universities

The first SEA-EU project ended with the adoption by the 6 universities of a declaration to work together to create a sustainable European university – SDGs Declaration by the SEA-EU Alliance

Concept: Internal capacity building and allocation of resources to identify gaps, priorities, and opportunities to implement effective sustainability goals. Engagement and participation of all university members in the adoption and implementation of SDGs should be included. Embrace sustainability through all university activities, including teaching, research, dissemination, management, and administration. Identify, share, and develop best-practice procedures for the adoption and implementation of SDGs. Set targets and develop effective monitoring indicators for the implementation of sustainability goals for communication and outreach. Co-create and contribute to the effective adoption of sustainability goals with the SEA-EU associated partners and other stakeholders. Be a role model and consider the carbon footprint when organizing SEAEU activities, with an estimation and dissemination of the travel carbon footprint of at least one consortium governance meeting.
