Competition Socially Responsible

The social responsibility of a university consists in taking into account the impact of its activities on society, the economy and the environment, as well as in promoting academic values. Universities should therefore contribute to shaping students’ civic and social attitudes, developing staff competences, and fostering a positive image of the university as a socially responsible institution.

In response to these challenges, the universities forming the VIZJA University Scientific Federation invite students, administrative staff, teaching staff and research staff to participate in the “Socially Responsible” Competition. This initiative provides a platform for sharing experience and good practice, as well as for reflecting on the role of universities in fostering a responsible and engaged society.

We encourage participation and the co-creation of meaningful initiatives.

The Competition is open to individuals with full legal capacity, including students, administrative staff, and teaching and research staff of VIZJA University in Warsaw, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, and the International University of Logistics and Transport in Wroclaw.

Each participant may submit one Competition Entry, prepared individually or as part of a team of up to three persons. Participation in the Competition is voluntary and free of charge.

The Competition Entry shall consist of a poster prepared in accordance with the Competition guidelines. Participants may choose one of two forms:

Scientific poster – presenting research findings, data analysis or a case study in an educational and informative manner. This format requires clarity, logical structure and coherent organisation of content.

Social/artistic poster – focusing on conveying an idea and raising social awareness. Its purpose may be to inspire reflection or changes in attitudes, with emphasis placed on the strength of the message, concept and aesthetic execution.

The themes of the Competition broadly cover corporate social responsibility, sustainable development and ESG, in particular in the environmental, social and governance areas.

The environmental area includes, inter alia, climate protection, waste management, biodiversity and renewable energy sources.
The social area includes, inter alia, integration, equality, volunteering, mental health and accessibility.
The governance area includes, inter alia, ethics, transparency, civic participation and human rights.

Entries must be original works and must not infringe the rights of third parties. The use of external materials and artificial intelligence tools is permitted, provided that applicable legal regulations and licensing terms are complied with.

Entries shall be prepared in B2 format, portrait orientation. The technique of execution is unrestricted.

The Competition shall run from 4 May to 30 May 2026. In the subsequent stage, from 1 to 13 June 2026, the Competition Committee shall evaluate the submitted entries. The results shall be announced on 19 June 2026.

The Competition will conclude with a post-competition exhibition held from 22 to 26 June 2026 at the premises of the universities. Selected entries will also be published in electronic form on the websites of the Organiser and Co-organisers.
