In the past week, experts from the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business took part in public debate on tax, digital settlements and inflation, as well as in conversations about how AI should move from presentation slides to actual decisions. Three features published on badania.uew.pl stood out in particular, showing WUEB’s impact across very different fields: from regional transformation through the creative industries to the quality of hospital nutrition.
Up to PLN 500 just for opening an account. These are the banks offering start-up bonuses for entrepreneurs
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
A review of business banking offers, focused on the conditions for receiving a start-up bonus and the cost of running the account once the promotional period ends. The piece helps separate real value from marketing claims: what matters are the limits, fees and eligibility requirements that activate the promotion.
A business account for PLN 0 with no extra conditions? Check the latest ranking
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
This ranking of business accounts shows where “PLN 0” genuinely means no conditions attached, and where it depends on meeting thresholds for incoming payments or transaction activity. It is a practical guide to hidden costs, including fees for cards, transfers, cash withdrawals and additional services.
Beef is not the top source of iron. This meat contains up to twice as much
WUEB expert: dr inż. Gabriela Haraf
The article challenges common assumptions about iron in meat and reminds readers that nutritional value depends on both the type of product and portion size. It is a good example of how expertise in food technology and nutrition can support more informed dietary decisions.
Why are we paying more, and what can the government do about it?
WUEB expert: dr Iwo Augustyński
A commentary on the causes of rising prices and on which state tools can work in the short term, and which come with side effects. The piece encourages readers to think about inflation not only as the result of government action, but also as the consequence of regulatory decisions and market pressures.

Wrocław is preparing an event designed to bring AI from presentations into decisions
WUEB expert: prof. dr hab. Ewa Stańczyk-Hugiet, dhc
This preview presents an event that moves the AI debate beyond declarations and into practice: how to implement solutions, measure outcomes and reduce risk. It is an important signal for local government and business alike: technology becomes useful only when it changes how decisions are made and how services perform.
Interest rates unchanged. The Monetary Policy Council has made its decision
WUEB expert: prof. dr hab. Marek Kośny, prof. UEW, Prorektor ds. Nauki
The piece explains the consequences of the MPC’s decision and shows what “no change” means for households, loans and inflation expectations. It is best read alongside inflation data: central bank decisions respond to a wider set of economic signals, not just a single indicator.
Flexible adult learning pathways in the NCBR competition
WUEB expert: dr Sylwia Wrona, prof. UEW
The article presents the WUEB project as an example of how universities can genuinely strengthen lifelong learning through concrete tools and solutions. A key role is played by Dr Sylwia Wrona, the author and academic lead of the K(A)FE programme: short, flexible development pathways with microcredentials, created together with Lower Silesian Employers and already tested in their first full edition.

The invoice reached the recipient before it appeared in KSeF. When can VAT be deducted?
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
The article explains a practical issue linked to incorrect date records in KSeF: when the document reaches the recipient, when it appears in the system, and how that affects VAT deduction. This is a topic that directly affects accounting practice and business liquidity: in KSeF, the process matters, not just the invoice itself.
Morning Interview: Dr Aleksander Mercik on cryptocurrencies and the Crypto-Assets Market Act
WUEB expert: dr Aleksander R. Mercik
A conversation about how new crypto-asset regulation is changing the perspective of investors: where security may increase, and where new obligations and risks emerge. The material helps put key terms in order and separates the technology itself from market practice, including the role of intermediaries and trust.
WUEB in the debate on regional transformation through the creative industries
Ekspert UEW: prof. dr hab. Patrycja Klimas
This report shows how WUEB contributes knowledge on regional development and the creative economy to a discussion on transformation, where culture, technology and business meet in practice. It is a clear example of impact in action: research enters the conversation about development tools and policy choices rather than stopping at the description of trends.

Only eight PhD candidates from across Europe selected – among them WUEB researchers developing solutions that are already reshaping food design
WUEB experts: mgr Oliwia Paroń I mgr Patryk Słota
The article highlights recognition for WUEB doctoral researchers in a European group and shows that innovation in food starts with the design of composition, structure and function. It is an important signal for socio-economic partners: WUEB is developing solutions that connect research with real market needs.
Hospital nutrition reform in Poland: between standards and practice
WUEB expert: dr hab. Inż. Agnieszka Orkusz, prof. UEW
The article shows that the quality of hospital nutrition is part of the healthcare system itself: it depends on organisation, standards and the real conditions of implementation. It brings together the perspectives of public health and management, while asking how service quality should be measured in practice.

This group of employees can reduce their tax. The relief must be included in the PIT return
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
The article explains who is entitled to this tax preference and how to report it correctly in an annual tax return so as not to lose the relief. It is a practical step-by-step guide, especially useful where thresholds and proper documentation are decisive.
A foreign-currency safety cushion. Why foreign exchange reserves matter [OPINION]
WUEB expert: dr hab. Artur Klimek, prof. UEW
The article looks at foreign exchange reserves as a tool of financial stability and state security. Reserves are not just technical assets: they are part of a country’s credibility and its ability to respond to market shocks.
A far-reaching healthcare reform. We now know the proposal for restoring the NFZ
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
The piece presents proposed changes in the financing and organisation of the healthcare system, and how they may affect providers and patients. This is a topic where regulatory detail translates directly into access to services, so it is worth reading proposed solutions from the perspective of their practical effects.
Après Snow – a seminar on climate change in the Karkonosze Mountains and its social consequences
Ekspert UEW: dr hab. Jacek Potocki, profesor UEW
The seminar combines environmental and social perspectives to show how climate change affects mountain regions and tourism. It is an important contribution to the adaptation debate: the issue is not only future snow conditions, but also the long-term consequences for local economies, labour markets and the functioning of communities in mountain areas.
Customers benefit as banks improve cash loan offers
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
This review of changes in cash loan offers shows where banks are genuinely improving terms and where the change is largely cosmetic. It helps readers compare the total cost and promotional conditions before a credit decision turns into a long-term commitment.
Conference on alternative methods of investing (KAMP2026)
WUEB event – conference preview
An invitation to a conference devoted to alternative forms of investing, a topic that returns whenever uncertainty and market volatility rise. It is worth looking at the programme to see how the organisers combine market practice, regulation and investor decision-making.
