The Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU) has granted the Engaged University Accreditation to the Medical University of Gdańsk (MUG). This recognition highlights the University’s long-standing commitment to societal engagement and reaffirms its central role in shaping the future of medicine and health care.
The recognition is a testament to MUG’s ability to align education and research with the pressing needs of society and the economy, while fostering collaboration with a wide range of external stakeholders. Central to the University’s approach are four key pillars: public involvement in research, engaged teaching, knowledge exchange, and social responsibility and sustainability. Through these, MUG demonstrates an enduring commitment to generating social, cultural, and economic impact within the city of Gdańsk, the Pomeranian region, and beyond.
“The Engaged University accreditation is the outcome of many years of effort spanning two rectoral terms. The process, which lasted nearly four years, provided us with valuable experience – it taught us how to assess our own activities, strengthen communication, and clearly demonstrate our role in society. We extend our gratitude to all who contributed to the development of the Medical University of Gdańsk. Thanks to their efforts, we have achieved this success and can continue striving for excellence as a socially engaged institution,” emphasized Prof. Anna Żaczek, Vice-Rector for Development and Cooperation.
This latest milestone adds to the University’s distinguished record. As the first medical research university in Poland and certified for Excellence in Research, MUG has consistently demonstrated leadership in both academic and clinical domains. Furthermore, as an active member of the Applied, Connected, Entrepreneurial, and Engaged European University (ACE2-EU) Alliance, MUG is advancing international collaboration and contributing to the transformation of European higher education.
By receiving the ACEEU Engaged University Accreditation, the Medical University of Gdańsk consolidates its position as a leading institution of medical education and research in Poland, and reaffirms its role as a socially responsible, forward-looking university dedicated to creating lasting value for its stakeholders and society at large.
