The self-government of the Pomeranian Voivodeship is currently working on projects of six Regional Strategic Programs (RSPs), which are tools for the implementation of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Development Strategy 2030. Experts from key areas, whose topics are discussed in the document, were involved in the process of developing RSP in the field of education and social capital. Representatives of the voivodship self-government cooperate in the program with representatives of entities operating in the field of education, culture, non-governmental organizations, as well as employers' associations and the academic community, represented by PhD Wikieł and PhD Popowska.

In a letter from the Marshal's Office to the rector of Gdańsk University of Technology, it was emphasized that the involvement of representatives of our university in the work on the RSP will be of significant importance for the direction of the self-government of the Pomeranian Voivodeship’s policy for the years 2021-2030 in the area of shaping the key competences of Pomeranian students, equalizing educational opportunities, building the system of vocational counseling and coordinating the development of vocational education, as well as development of the staff of the education system and broadening educational dialogue in the region.
