People
On June 6, 2024, Gdańsk University of Technology will be hosting the “Summit on international promotion in HEI” in Competence Center STOS, under the patronage of the Rector, Prof. Krzysztof Wilde. Experts from global higher education-related institutions will share their experience and knowledge on promoting university effectively. Gdańsk Tech International Relations Office is responsible for the organization and program of the event. The conference is part of the NAWA “Welcome to Poland” program. 

In June 2023, Gdańsk Tech International Relations Office (IRO) started a project “Międzynarodowa promocja Politechniki Gdańskiej” (“International promotion of Gdańsk University of Technology”), financed by NAWA, “Welcome to Poland 2022” program. From the obtained funds – approximately PLN 300,000 – Gdańsk Tech will pay for, among others: two new promotional films, a photo session, employee training, and promotion of the university on the Internet. One of the most important activities under the project is the conference and a workshop on the international promotion of universities, with the participation of experts and practitioners from the HEI community.
