title: Higher Education Institutions in Poland Dataset

description: <strong>Higher Education Institutions in Poland Dataset</strong> This repository contains a dataset of higher education institutions in Poland. The dataset comprises 131 public higher education institutions and 216 private higher education institutions in Poland. The data was collected on 24/11/2022. <br> This dataset was compiled in response to a cybersecurity investigation of Poland's higher education institutions' websites [1]. The data is being made publicly available to promote open science principles [2]. <strong>Data</strong> The data includes the following fields for each institution: Id: A unique identifier assigned to each institution. Region: The federal state in which the institution is located. Name: The original name of the institution in Polish. Name_EN: The international name of the institution in English. Category: Indicates whether the institution is public or private. Url: The website of the institution. <strong>Methodology</strong> The dataset was compiled using data from two primary sources: Public Higher Education Institutions: Data was sourced from the official website of the Ministry of Education and Science of Poland [3]. Private Higher Education Institutions: Data was obtained from the RAD-on system, which is part of the Integrated Information Network on Science and Higher Education [4]. For the international names in English, the following methodology was employed: Both Polish and English names were retained for each institution. This decision was based on the fact that some universities do not have their English versions available in official sources. English names were primarily sourced from: The Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange's official document [5]. The website Studies in English [6]. Official websites of the respective Higher Education Institutions. In instances where English names were not readily available from the aforementioned sources, the GPT-3.5 model was employed to propose suitable names. These proposed names are distinctly marked in blue within the dataset file (hei_poland_en.xls). <strong>Usage</strong> This data is available under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license and can be used for academic research purposes.
