What happiness is? | Gdańsk University of Technology

"This year is the 10th edition of the World Happiness Report, which uses data from global research, mainly the Gallup World Poll, to show how people in more than 150 countries around the world evaluate their lives. The first place - for the fifth time in a row - was taken by Finland, whose inhabitants have rated their quality of life the highest for many years. Poland was ranked 48th in this ranking (a decrease by almost 9 places compared to the previous edition of the survey). "

In mid-September, the project "Creating an emotional support system for the international students of Gdańsk University of Technology" (project marketing name: "Hey, are you OK?") was launched. The main goal of the initiative is to support the emotional, mental and physical well-being of not only students, but also support and academic staff of the university. And it is employees and concepts such as work-life balance and employee experience that the article "What is happiness?" is dedicated to.

The full article "What happiness is?" can be found here (page 18). The article is available in Polish only, but it will be published in English soon. 

More about the "Hey, are you OK?" initiative can be read on the project website. If you have any questions, please contact the International Relations Office by e-mail at wellbeing@pg.edu.pl.
