“…11 However, a closer analysis of the transformation puts a structuralist explanation into perspective and brings power struggles back into the picture. The re-articulation of the relationship between the government and universities was and still is highly contested, with competing ideas about the right balance between governmental control and the independence of HE institutions (Rosa and Teixeira 2014;Bejan, Janatuinen, and Jurvelin 2015;Hartmann 2017;Kauko, Rinne, and Takala 2018).

“…Currently, the output of educational process is considered to be "a set of knowledge, skills, competencies, and accomplishments" which the participant of education (usually a student) should have at their disposal at the end of the education. Measuring the level of learning outcomes is often subject to various evaluation schemes, both within the education system, where the knowledge, skills, and competencies of a student are assessed [29], or with respect to the final effect of education, where the fact of how the student applied this knowledge, skills, and competencies in the labour market is assessed [43].…”

Raising awareness related to sustainable development can take different forms. One of them is represented by recommended documents, including the International Standard ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility. Although it concerns the approach of integrating sustainable development and social responsibility, the results of its practical application are very rarely found in the literature. The aim of this paper is to present a method of applying ISO 26000 within a university environment. It offers an illustrative methodological apparatus allowing quantification of social responsibility principles and influences of an organisation focused on a detailed analysis of its performance in the area of social responsibility. The results are presented in the form of a case study and their role is to provide a verifiable manual for the structural process of an analysis and practical application related to the topic of social responsibility and sustainable development. The results also showed that if an organisation applies this procedure it obtains valuable information necessary to support decision-making processes.
