The research was based on the principle of social responsibility specified in the norm was ISO 26000. The research was conducted by the project partners Sylvie Formánková, Kristin Stevik and Renata Kučerová. The results of the research were published by also in the monograph „Responsibility and Sustainability of Higher Education Institutions“ by the Publisher Pearson in Great Britain. The cooperation continues after the project termination. Currently the issue is being researched from the point of view of the stakeholders – students and staff of the university.
