Last week, experts from UEW contributed to public debate on tax, fuel and property issues, as well as on culture and digital games. At the same time, the university strengthened its public engagement through science communication projects and expert commentary across national and regional media.
Games, economy and socjety. Computer and video games: economy, technology, society
WUEB Expert – prof. dr hab. Patrycja Klimas
This feature frames games as a sector of the economy and technology, while also looking at their impact on culture, social behaviour and employment in the creative industries.
Science communication and public engagement. UEW doctoral researcher joins the national “Science Has a Voice” project
WUEB Expert – mgr inż. Oliwia Paroń, doktorantka UEW
UEW expert: mgr inż. Oliwia Paroń, UEW doctoral researcher
WUEB joined an initiative that promotes science through direct dialogue with audiences. The format focuses on real questions and everyday choices rather than short lectures. Oliwia Paroń’s participation shows how research expertise at UEW can support trust in science and help explain complex processes in accessible language.
Cryptoassets and market risk. Cryptocurrencies are not only about technology
WUEB Expert – dr hab. Aleksander Mercik, prof. UEW
The article shows that the risk of investing in cryptoassets often stems not from the technology itself, but from the role of intermediaries, the clarity of market rules and the maturity of the regulatory environment. It shifts the discussion away from emotion and towards trust, responsibility and mechanisms that protect market participants.
Dr hab. Eng. Maja Kiba-Janiak, prof. UEW among the “30 Creative People of Wrocław 2026”

Fuels, energy and economic pressure. Fuels under pressure: is the world entering an era of permanent crises?
WUEB Expert – dr Iwo Augustyński
This commentary looks at how tensions in commodity markets and energy costs affect the wider economy, from transport and food prices to the stability of public finances. The expert perspective helps distinguish between short-term protective measures and decisions that build resilience against future shocks.
A tax revolution for thousands of firms? Only a few businesses use it in practice
WUEB Expert – dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
The article points to a gap between the intended purpose of tax changes and their actual uptake by businesses. It asks what barriers discourage entrepreneurs from using the solution. It is also a reminder that effective regulation depends on whether a measure is understandable, accessible and worthwhile in day-to-day business practice.
The tax office will settle your PIT, but you could still lose money
WUEB Expert – dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
This piece reminds readers that automatic tax settlement does not mean full optimisation. Some reliefs still require active steps from the taxpayer and accurate information in the return. It offers clear guidance on what to check before approving a settlement.
Up to PLN 4,000 more through indexation of the tax threshold
WUEB Expert – dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
The article examines the structure of tax thresholds and shows how the lack of indexation affects the real tax burden on employees. It adds useful context to the debate on fairness in the tax system by focusing on a mechanism that shapes annual settlements in the background.
Property market sentiment index reaches 58.3 points in Q1
WUEB Expert – dr hab. Bogusław Półtorak, prof. UEW
This commentary places the index reading in the context of buyer and seller decisions. The figure itself matters less than what it says about expectations and market activity. It offers a perspective that helps explain how sentiment indicators translate into behaviour and change in the housing sector.
The fight for PIT revenue
WUEB Expert – dr hab. Bogusław Półtorak, prof. UEW
This material addresses competition between local governments for PIT revenue, a key source of funding for public services and local investment. The expert commentary clarifies how tax decisions affect the ability of cities to plan and develop.
Forum of the National Observatory of Culture: programme of the second edition
WUEB Expert – dr hab. Magdalena Sobocińska, prof. UEW
The programme shows that the cultural sector increasingly needs data and analytical tools, from audience diagnosis to the assessment of impact. The participation of a UEW expert reflects the university’s role in linking marketing research with the work of cultural institutions.
