In May and June 2025, Dr. hab. Marta Nowak, Professor at the Wrocław University of Economics and Business (UEW), conducted research at the Faculty of Business Administration at Kanagawa University in Yokohama, where she held the position of International Visiting Researcher.
Her visit was supported by a prestigious scholarship awarded by the President of Kanagawa University, through a competitive selection process based on her research proposal and the recommendation of Professor Norihito Tanaka. Her academic supervisor during the visit was Professor Keiko Yukawa. During her stay, Professor Nowak held a formal meeting with the President of Kanagawa University, Professor Ryusuke Toda.
During the visit, Professor Nowak conducted a series of interviews and surveys focused on the career choices of Japan’s Generation Z. An important part of her stay also included extensive consultations with Japanese researchers.
She also participated in a research seminar organized by the Faculty of Business Administration, where she presented the results of her study on burnout among academic teachers employed at public economic universities in Poland. The findings were published in Argumenta Oeconomica (link to publication).
Professor Nowak delivered lectures to both Japanese and international students, and met with students from UEW currently studying in Yokohama as part of the Erasmus+ program. She also spoke with Japanese students interested in studying at our university.
This visit was a continuation of academic collaboration initiated during her previous stay at Kanagawa University within the Erasmus+ program.
