University of Gdańsk becomes the first Polish university to receive the “Healthy Campus” certificate
The University of Gdańsk has achieved a significant international success. The university has been officially awarded the “Healthy Campus” certificate, becoming the first higher education institution in Poland to join this prestigious group.
The “Healthy Campus” program is an initiative led by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). Its primary goal is to promote a healthy lifestyle, physical activity, and to care for the mental and physical well-being of students and staff at universities around the world.
To receive this distinction, the university had to meet a series of rigorous requirements. The assessment covered, among other things, sports infrastructure, the availability of healthy food on campus, preventative health measures, and broad health education conducted within the university walls.
The University of Gdańsk, which educates over 25,000 students, has been focusing on the development of modern educational solutions for years. Obtaining the certificate confirms that the university not only ensures a high level of teaching but also actively supports the health of its academic community in their daily lives.
This achievement is an important step for Polish higher education. University authorities announce that the certificate is not the end of their efforts, but rather a motivation to continue implementing health-promoting changes and facilities for everyone associated with the university.
