Do you need a research partner or guest lecturer on local development, Poland's economic boom etc.?

I am focused on the task at hand and I have flexible and individual approach to my partners and their needs. Thanks to this, I achieve better results and easily find new colleagues around the world.

Lifetime, complete experience

I deal with local development strategic governance and self-governments as a consultant, scientist, lecturer and member of authorities since 1994. Therefore my experience is rich, consistent and complete.

I am a habilitated doctor of management sciences and a doctor of economic sciences, but I am still expanding my knowledge at conferences, training, as well as by reading professional publications and legal acts.

Proprietary methods and patents
