Week with WUEB Experts Comments, projects and milestones

Between 23 and 29 February 2026, experts from the Wrocław University of Economics and Business took part in debates that matter to citizens, firms and policymakers. They addressed patients’ rights, the practicalities of regulation, and the impact of geopolitics and trade negotiations on business.
Alongside media commentary, WUEB highlighted research achievements, opened discussion on the future of the planet, and promoted conferences and publications that strengthen the University’s expert voice.
