Posted by Almost a year ago, we organized a conference to conclude the project “Interdisciplinary Center for Personnel Development – think tank for the development of key competencies of future personnel for Polish science”, funded by the Ministry of Education and Science under the “Dialogue” program. It was held from October 24 to 25, 2022 in the building at 14 Bankowa Street in Katowice.
During the conference, we presented the results of the team’s work on the concept of managing universities through competence. The meeting was attended by representatives of the research community and support staff from Polish research universities. Guests at the event included representatives of Gdansk University of Technology, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Warsaw University of Technology, Jagiellonian University, Gdansk Medical University, Silesian University of Technology and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, among others.
Our project aimed to develop a concept for the development of key competencies of research staff and administrative support staff of the science and higher education sector in Poland, which can contribute to strengthening the position of domestic universities in the international arena. As part of the 2021 project, a special tool was designed, thanks to which we conducted a survey of the key competencies of staff at 10 selected universities.
