Summary/Abstract: The issue of social responsibility is taken up in the literature on the subject, especially from the perspective of economics and management. It is related to the concepts of corporate social responsibility or, more broadly, corporate social responsibility. At the same time, the concept of social responsibility appears in considerations in the field of higher education in relation to the concept of social responsibility of universities. In both of these cases, it is indicated that the organization and its activities are related to social aspects, especially as they function in a specific society, thanks to it and for it. The issue of social responsibility can be viewed from the perspective of both internal, and therefore to what extent a given organization implements socially useful goals and tasks, and also from the external perspective, to what extent a given society supports the activities of a given organization. In this context, it is worth noting that the area related to issues of cultural heritage is strongly connected with society because it is society that creates, develops and passes on to the next generations of heritage, therefore the introduction of the concept of social responsibility in the context of cultural heritage seems particularly necessary and will contribute to a paradigm shift. social thinking about cultural heritageThe issue of social responsibility is taken up in the literature on the subject, especially from the perspective of economics and management.
