Comment from Prof. Celina Olszak, Rector of the University of Economics in Katowice, on the CEEMAN IQA re-accreditation:
CEEMAN reaccreditation for another six years is an important recognition of the University of Economics in Katowice’s development path and of the progress we have made in strengthening our international profile. Now that we are beginning to celebrate the University’s 90th anniversary, this milestone is particularly meaningful, as CEEMAN has been our first international institutional accreditation. The peer review process itself was a valuable opportunity for self-assessment, reflection, and looking at the University from an external, peer perspective. The recommendations and insights gained through this process have been reflected in our new strategy and in initiatives focused on continuous improvement, social responsibility, impact, and stronger regional and international cooperation, including within our European Universities alliance (BAUHAUS4EU). We see this achievement not only as recognition of what we have accomplished, but also as encouragement to remain ambitious, open to change, and committed to further development.
