The issue of social responsibility of higher education institutions (HEIs) has been explored and discussed in recent years. In the studies conducted between 2007 and 2010, nearly 90% of the authorities of HEIs operating in Poland declared that they were familiar with the topic and considered it as an important issue. Similar opinions were shared by the majority among 122 heads of HEIs from 46 nations who participated in the study. Nowadays, we are able to draw some conclusions, predict possible directions of development and seek new solutions.
