WUEB event: Wroclaw University of Economics and Business
Wroclaw University of Economics and Business has been included in the Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026 for the first time. The ranking assesses universities through their contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including quality education, responsible economic activity, climate action, health, equality and partnerships.
WUEB’s presence in the ranking signals that the role of an economics and business university goes beyond teaching and academic publications. It also includes social impact, cooperation with external partners and the development of knowledge that supports better public and economic decisions.
Renewal of Professor Maria Romanowska’s doctoral diploma
WUEB expert: prof. dr hab. Ewa Stańczyk-Hugiet

Is the European economy under pressure?
WUEB event: conference at Wroclaw University of Economics and Business
Echo24 covered the pressures facing the European economy in a report on the conference “The competitiveness of the Polish economy in the face of European Union challenges”, held at Wroclaw University of Economics and Business.
This subject is highly relevant for an economics and business university because it connects macroeconomic analysis with questions about consequences for regions, enterprises and the labour market. Such topics call for a voice that goes beyond headlines and explains the mechanisms: where the pressure comes from, who will feel it and which decisions can reduce risk.

WUEB experts: dr hab. Bożena Ryszawska, Professor of the WUEB; dr Anna Baraniecka, Professor of the WUEB; dr Ewa Brzozowicz
Badania.uew.pl published a report on Big Future, a project developed by the Green Team – Centre for Sustainable Development at WUEB. The project is led by Dr hab. Bożena Ryszawska, Professor of the WUEB; Dr Anna Baraniecka, Professor of the WUEB; and Dr Ewa Brzozowicz.
The project translates knowledge about climate change into the language of institutional, urban, economic and public decision-making. Future scenarios help organisations prepare for different possible pathways, rather than responding only when the consequences of change have already become costly and difficult to reverse.
The end of fully free business accounts. What banks now offer
WUEB expert: dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska
Bankier.pl published an article on changes in business account offers and the end of fully free solutions for entrepreneurs. The analysis was prepared by Dr Dominika Florek-Sapkowska from WUEB’s Department of Financial Accounting, Taxes and Audit.
The subject is practical, but its relevance goes beyond a comparison of fees. The cost of banking services affects the daily operation of micro and small businesses. It also shows how the relationship between banks and business clients is changing.

Dematerialised billions and a Polish-Estonian hunt. For current and future Zondacrypto clients
WUEB expert: dr hab. Aleksander Mercik, Professor of the WUEB
Bankier.pl covered a story concerning the cryptocurrency market and Zondacrypto clients. The article includes comments from Dr hab. Aleksander Mercik, Professor of the WUEB, whose research covers crypto-asset markets, investment portfolio management and investment risk.
Cryptocurrencies are no longer a narrow technological curiosity. They bring together finance, law, investment risk and consumer protection. This is why expert commentary is especially useful in this area.
Attracting an investor is not enough
WUEB expert: dr hab. Bogusław Półtorak, Professor of the WUEB
Badania.uew.pl published an article based on comments by Dr hab. Bogusław Półtorak, Professor of the WUEB, on major technology investments in Poland. The starting point was a discussion about Taiwanese technology companies’ interest in Lower Silesia and what such investments could mean for the region.
The key message is clear: attracting an investor is not enough. Real value emerges when investment builds skills, strengthens local firms, develops talent and leaves a lasting mark on the regional economy.
Interview of the Day: Dr hab. Mirosław Moroz on new tariffs on goods from China
WUEB expert: dr hab. Mirosław Moroz, Professor of the WUEB
Radio Wrocław spoke to Dr hab. Mirosław Moroz, Professor of the WUEB, about new tariffs on goods from China. The issue brings together trade policy, the competitiveness of European firms, product prices and tensions in global supply chains.
Tariffs are often presented as a simple instrument for protecting a market, but their effects are usually more complex. They can strengthen some industries, burden others, affect consumers and change business decisions on imports, production and investment.
There is still a world beyond AI. How does artificial intelligence affect the economy?
WUEB expert: dr hab. Artur Klimek, Professor of the WUEB
Dziennik Gazeta Prawna published an article on the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy. It includes comments from Dr hab. Artur Klimek, Professor of the WUEB, an expert who analyses economic phenomena in a wider international context.
This is a valuable contribution to a debate that often moves between uncritical enthusiasm and fear of automation. An economic perspective makes it possible to ask where artificial intelligence truly creates productivity, where it changes models of work and where it remains primarily an investment slogan.
Interview with Anna Andrych, Management Board Member of the Think Tank Marka Polska Foundation
WUEB expert: dr hab. Barbara Mróz-Gorgoń, Professor of the WUEB
Wprost Biznes published an interview with Anna Andrych from the Think Tank Marka Polska Foundation. The article refers to Dr hab. Barbara Mróz-Gorgoń, Professor of the WUEB, an expert in brand, communication and management.
The topic matters for discussions about economic reputation, recognition and responsible image-building. A brand is not only a matter of promotion. It is a promise of quality, consistency and credibility that must be confirmed through action.
