The “Open University” Ranking is a nationwide project implemented by the Student Parliament of the Republic of Poland with funding from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Its aim is to promote universities that foster accessible, safe and inclusive academic environments, while disseminating good practices in student support, equal opportunities and the prevention of exclusion.

The ranking assessed initiatives related to architectural, digital and communication accessibility, support for individuals with specific needs, anti-discrimination measures, and the creation of student-friendly learning conditions. It also considered solutions supporting students’ academic and social engagement, as well as efforts to promote a culture of equal treatment and inclusion. An important element of the assessment was students’ and Student’s Government feedback on the quality of support provided and the University’s performance in the areas of accessibility and openness.
