In today’s dynamic world, universities must keep up with the changing expectations of their students and the business environment. Traditional tasks, such as conducting scientific research and offering teaching activities, are often no longer considered sufficient to confirm the competencies of academic teachers. One of the key aspects of modern education is the independent confirmation of competencies. 

Thanks to support from the Knowledge Education Development Operational Program (POWER), the Department of Management Process employees took a course preparing for the IPMA-D certification. After intensive study and preparation, they passed the certification exam. 

On May 30, 2023, an international seminar on quality 4.0 was held at Cracow University of Economics, Poland. The seminar was attended by representatives of business, public administration and science from Czechia, Poland and Slovakia, who shared their experiences regarding modern approaches to quality management in the era of industry 4.0. The meeting was an opportunity to establish contacts, exchange ideas and start new forms of cooperation between business and science. Recordings of the presentations are available on the project page.
