The members of the Team represent young researchers on key visits of representatives of the commission accrediting the University. They participated, among others, in meetings with European commissioners in the process of assessing Gdańsk Tech in terms of the implementation of the HR4R Strategy and extending the consent to use the HR distinctionin (16.06.2023) and experts from the IDUB mid-term evaluation committee (07.09.2023).

They organized: Congress 'Science beyond divisions', Young Researchers Day (14.09.2023), Young Researchers Picnic (27.06.2024) and initiated regular meetings "let's talk about... let's talk to ..." which are places integrating the Gdańsk Tech community. They plan to launch a series of "Young Researchers Forum".

They took care to create a common channel of communication with young researchers, thanks to which it is possible to send so-called mass e-mails, either to all young researchers or to ones focused on scientific disciplines at the faculties.

The Team asked the Vice-Rector for Science to implement annual action plans for young researchers at faculties and doctoral schools based on the results of a survey examining barriers in individual administrative units of Gdańsk Tech. In response, the authorities of both faculties and doctoral schools developed plans that were implemented until June 2024. In the current term, deans also implement similar plans at some faculties.

At the request of young scientists, the Regulations on the periodic evaluation of academic teachers (Gdańsk Tech Rector Regulation No. 8/2025 of 5 February 2025) introduced an extension of the evaluation (from 12 to 18 months from employment).

In addition, through the implementation of the HR4R Strategy:

  • in February 2024, first aid training for PhD students and Gdańsk Tech staff were launched,
  • from October 2023, the HR Center has introduced onboarding for newly hired employees,
  • on November 2023, the Rector signed an ordinance introducing an employee competence development program, including the Leader Academy for unit managers,
  • some applications forms have been introduced (e.g. for applying for grants in IDUB programmes, applications for advance payments for trips for doctoral students).

The team also got involved in the process of changing the Policy for the employment of academic teachers, submitting a number of comments to the draft OTM-R Policy (Gdańsk Tech Rector Regulation No. 41/2024 of 8 October 2024).
