On 23–24 September this year, the University of Lodz Foundation will participate in the 3rd Forum of Academic Foundations, organised by the University of Gdańsk Development Foundation at the University of Gdańsk Marine Station, Hel. It is one of the most important meetings of foundations operating alongside Polish higher education institutions.
Forum as a Space for Cooperation
The 3rd Forum of Academic Foundations is an event that brings together representatives of foundations from across Poland in a spirit of sharing experience and jointly reflecting on the future of science and higher education. This year’s programme includes two rounds of discussions devoted to the operation of academic foundations, their challenges, best practices and development directions. The ceremony marking a new foundation’s accession to the Agreement of Academic Foundations, further strengthening the nationwide network of cooperation, will be an important highlight of the meeting.
The format of the event combines substantive discussion with opportunities for networking and integration. Participants will have the chance to explore the unique setting of the University of Gdańsk Marine Station in Hel, while the programme also includes a visit to the seal sanctuary and a guided walk around Hel.
Why It Matters to the University of Lodz Foundation
Active participation in the Forum is fully aligned with the strategy of the University of Lodz Foundation, which has for many years focused on building lasting relationships with partners from the worlds of science, culture and business. Exchanging experience with other academic foundations enables us to implement proven solutions, avoid common pitfalls and jointly set standards for the entire sector.
Meetings such as the 3rd Forum also provide an excellent opportunity to establish new partnerships supporting educational, scientific and innovative projects carried out by the University of Lodz Foundation for the benefit of the entire academic community of Lodz.
