Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the achievements of public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Poland in popularising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from 2017 to 2022. The study used 29 diagnostic variables taken from SciVal reports. As a result of the cluster analysis, using Ward’s method and Euclidean distance, 5 groups of universities differing in terms of the number of publications correlating with the respective SDGs and their citability were identified. The universities that were involved in promoting the highest number of SDGs, during the analysed period, were the University of Warsaw and Jagiellonian University. These HEIs achieved the highest average values in 14 of the 29 indicators analysed. There is a need to continue the research by including more universities (also due to the nature of their ownership) using also qualitative variables.
