List of all news

On May 22-23, I am participating in the University Union Workshops, which provide an opportunity for the annual meeting of the members of this Association. The workshops are held under the theme: Innovations in education in study programs related to spatial management in the context of new demographic, digital, climate, and systematic challenges. The meeting was organized by the Department of Regional Economics and the Environment, University of Lodz with the involvement of the Association's members. 

The workshops were dedicated to issues related to a rapidly changing reality (e.g. artificial intelligence, climate change, demographic challenges, changes in systemic foundations of socio-economic and spatial planning), which are of significant importance for educational programs in the field of spatial management. These changes require a redefinition of the content and teaching methods. The aim of workshops is to exchange knowledge and experiences in this area within two groups:

• academics from over 20 universities affiliated with the University Union, 
• students from scientific circles (and doctoral students) involved in programs related to spatial management across the country. 

The workshops aim to develop recommendations for improving the teaching process and to identify directions for the development of professionals in the field of spatial management. An important aspect of the workshops is the comparison of the results development by academics with the solutions proposed by students, as well as the establishment of direct contracts and collaboration among participants. 

I invite you to the next office hours for students, which will take place on May 27, 2025 (Tuesday), from 12:00 PM to 2.00 PM.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the changes.

Planning in a New Way - Law and Practice 

On October 19, 2024, I had the pleasure of delivering a lecture as part of Module 1.3 "Integration of Spatial Planning with Strategic Planning - Integrated Planning" within the course "Planning in a New Way - Law and Practice" organized by the Faculty of Architecture of the Poznan University of Technology, the Faculty of Socio-Economic Geography and Spatial Management of Adam Mickiewicz University, and the Urban Planning Office in Poznan, which is funded under the National Recovery Plan.

Thank you for the session! I hope that despite the marginalization of this topic in the training framework prepared by the Ministry of Development and Technology, I have convinced you of the fundamental role of integrated development planning in the functioning of the development planning system at every spatial level. Let’s hope that we will eventually be able to implement this approach in Polish planning practice, despite the unfavorable conditions resulting from the absurd timeline for implementing elements of the planning system reform in Poland.

Summary of the First Stage of Work at Policy Lab - LIFE AFTER COAL PL in Wielkopolska

On September 18, 2024, a meeting was held at the Poznań Science and Technology Park summarizing the first stage of work in the Policy Lab of the LIFE AFTER COAL PL project in Wielkopolska.

The LIFE program is a financial instrument of the European Union aimed at co-financing projects in the areas of environmental protection, nature, and the impact of human activity on the climate. The main objective of this program is to support the implementation of EU environmental law, promote pro-environmental and pro-climate policies, and identify and promote new solutions in these areas.

The integrated and consortium project submitted to the LIFE program, involving several dozen partners from Greater Poland, titled "LIFE AFTER COAL PL," is related to the implementation of the Climate Neutrality Strategy for Eastern Greater Poland 2040.

The LIFE AFTER COAL PL project, in which I have the pleasure of participating, is a response to the challenges faced by Eastern Wielkopolska related to the necessity of reducing the use of fossil fuels in the economy while maintaining national energy security and the stability of the local socio-economic system.

Wielkopolska's path to climate neutrality 

On February 23, 2024, an event occurred at the Marshal's Office of the Greater Poland Voivodeship in Poznań: Wielkopolska's path to climate neutrality.

The conference was an opportunity to discuss the most urgent challenges facing regions on the way to climate neutrality, with particular emphasis on the transformation of coal regions. During this event, the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) declaration was also signed in the presence of the British and Canadian ambassadors to Poland, as representatives of the governments that initiated the coalition during COP23 in 2017 in Bonn. PPCA is the world's first and only coalition of national and local governments and businesses working together to transition away from coal-fired power generation. The conference was an opportunity to launch the LIFE After Coal PL project - Implementation of the Strategy for Climate Neutrality. Eastern Greater Poland 2040.

At the organizers' invitation, I had the pleasure of participating in this conference, presenting an introduction to the discussion - familiarizing the participants with the presentation entitled: Development challenges of coal regions in the conditions of energy transformation and participating in a panel discussion.

It should be emphasized here that for years, I have been actively supporting the energy transformation process, which in Greater Poland concerns Eastern Greater Poland to the greatest extent. A team of Faculty employees under my supervision prepared expert opinions and diagnoses that were used to formulate recommendations regarding the just transformation of coal regions in Poland (https://www.sbc.org.pl/dlibra/publication/681326) and were also used in the process of developing the Development Strategy for Eastern Greater Poland 2040 (https://amu.edu.pl/dla-mediow/komunikaty-prasowe/uam-zaangazowany-w-opracowanie-strategii-rozwoju-wielkopolski-Wschodni-2040), the preparation of which I supported as an expert scientific. I was also invited to POLICYLAB of the LIFE After Coal PL project - Implementation of the Strategy for Climate Neutrality. Eastern Greater Poland 2040.

The purpose of the meeting, in which I participated at the Organizers' invitation, was to discuss the future of the publication of the 8th Cohesion Report and the commencement of the preparation process for the Polish Presidency of the EU Council in January - June 2025.

The focus was in particular on discussing the draft EU Council conclusions to the Report, presenting findings and recommendations from expert opinions taking into account the context (1) of European Union policy and global trends; (2) the internal market and industrial policy of the EU; (3) investment needs of Polish regions; and (4) reflection on the changing role of cohesion policy in the EU. After the speeches, time was devoted to a debate on the significance of the cohesion policy in the overall EU activities and the preferred directions of its changes to allow the full implementation of Polish interests in the international arena.

During the meeting, I had the pleasure of presenting the results of my expert opinion on the Report's assumptions in the context of the investment needs of Polish regions. During my speech, I discussed the most critical challenges of cohesion from the point of view of essential needs of the EU and Poland; recommended directions of changes in the cohesion policy in the light of the need to strengthen European integration and the future role and importance of the cohesion policy in the face of the progressive centralization of tools and their financing. The presentation emphasized the need to adapt investments to local needs, in line with the territorial approach. He also drew attention to the need to review Community policies in the face of new challenges.
