About Wroclaw Medical University
Social Engagement
As a public university, our core mission is to provide education, conduct research, and transfer knowledge and innovation to society. However, our role goes far beyond these statutory duties. We are also committed to fostering civic responsibility, promoting respect for human rights, advancing science and culture, and supporting local and regional communities.
Echoing Aristotle’s belief that “man is by nature a social being,” we recognize that education is not only a personal right but also a powerful tool for building socially responsible attitudes and shaping a better, more equitable world.
At Wroclaw Medical University, social responsibility extends well beyond the academic walls. While health, medical education, and patient care remain central to our mission, we actively engage in creating social change. We promote intergenerational solidarity, civic engagement, and actions that improve the quality of life for individuals and communities.
We take particular pride in initiatives that combine scientific excellence with social value — a testament to the vital role universities play in shaping our shared future.
Our strategic goals include:
Promoting science and knowledge in line with the principles of social responsibility.
Supporting students’ career development and strengthening ties with our alums.
Creating an academic environment free from all forms of discrimination.
