Gdańsk University of Technology Strategic Framework 2020-2030
Every day we try to increase environmental awareness among employees, students, partners and suppliers as well as the local community and support activities related to environmental protection.
We are creating and will continue to create new curricula related to the broadly understood energy transition, adaptation to climate change, circular economy, so that our students receive practical knowledge in this area and are able to take action on the most important global issues in the future. We want every student, regardless of the chosen field of study, to graduate from our University with knowledge of environmental protection, climate issues and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
