KOZMINSKI 30
KOZMINSKI 30

,, We are building the future: the future of our students, graduates, business partners - both individual and corporate. These are not just words because they are followed by concrete actions. Kozminski University is the only one in the Central and Eastern European region to be included in the Positive Impact ranking - universities that have an important stake in society. We are a university that has a significant share in it. This is expressed by the mission and vision of our founders, implemented every day. Their dream was to be the best business university shaping entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders in our part of Europe.,,

Dr Sylwia Hałas-Dej


,, Kozminski University is one of the business schools that are pioneers in education combining management with new technologies and artificial intelligence. Not only do we conduct research in the area of implementing artificial intelligence in business, but we have also created ambitious undergraduate and graduate programs in AI management. Moreover, we believe that ethics and sustainability are core values. ,,

Prof. Aleksandra Przegalińska


,, After my stay in the USA, I made up my mind to establish a modern American-type business school. Why? For the same reason that I have always sought independence and freedom. From the beginning, I was guided by the vision of a large university with a broad profile, full academic rights, strong international activities, and strong centers for postgraduate education. The road to this goal has taken us many years. Today, we have the courage to compete with the best programs in the world. Poland is not supposed to be an educational province. ,,

Prof. Andrzej K. Koźmiński


,, Today, it is not enough to do one's own thing, that is, in the case of universities to educate and conduct research, and in the case of companies to strive for financial success. Modern leaders want to change the world for the better. In Poland, more and more companies are defining their primary goal of operation in this way and implementing a strategy of sustainable development. As an expert advising corporations on the process of positive change and a researcher at Kozminski University, I am particularly proud of the university. We are forging positive paths towards a better, sustainable world, setting a good example for other educational institutions in our country. ,,

Prof. Bolesław Rok


,, We teach real business, combining the highest academic standards with practical managerial skills. We achieve this by working with corporate partners from large Polish and international companies, which guarantees the timeliness and practicality of the knowledge acquired while also creating a platform for the exchange of experience. Our goal is to support the development of students, develop skills that will be fundamental to their future careers, teach critical thinking, rapid identification of challenges, effective use of tools, and supporting techniques. ,,

Prof. Mariola Ciszewska-Mlinarič


,, A good university is not only innovative programs, accreditations, or high rankings. It is, above all, people, their commitment, standards of good work, responsibility, respect, and tolerance. This is what creates the unique identity of the open organization that is Kozminski University. But all this would not have been created without students and graduates, their energy, ambition, and appetite for development. It is they who have been stimulating us for years to set new goals and seek ways to achieve them. Only with them does it all make sense. ,,

Prof. Paweł Mielcarz


,, Kozminski University is not only world-class business education but also empathy, responsibility, and social activism. In 2004, we established the Kozminski Foundation, which is the best expression of the commitment of our entire community. In addition to humanitarian aid activities, we support cultural and educational projects that have impact and meaning. Together, we provide care for the most talented students, pursuing a unique mission to build the future of young, ambitious, and enterprising individuals. We are pleased by the academic achievements of young people, but even more by their commitment and social activity. And all under the guiding idea - Together we build the future! ,,

Edyta Siuda


,, At Kozminski, we are responding to the growing demand for employees who understand technology and can work with it, while at the same time possessing the soft competencies that distinguish us from artificial intelligence. Knowing how the sets of competencies sought are changing (e.g., combining engineering knowledge with creativity), we focus on the development - not only of our students but also of our employees. ,,

Agnieszka Sławska


,, "A new school for a new world" is not just a slogan, especially as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. These words encapsulate the idea of innovation and joint creation of modern business education for the times to come. We focus on developing talent and cooperating with businesses, which is why our offerings include innovative majors, development programs, and unlimited opportunities for business partnerships. We have huge ambitions and dreams, but also a wealth of experience in making them come true. ,,

Paulina Łukaszuk


,, Kozminski University is one of the best places to conduct research in Central and Eastern Europe. Our university has access to a wide range of scientific databases, such as ScienceDirect, EBSCO, SCOPUS, EMIS and many others. In addition, we have a state-of-the-art Bloomberg laboratory and statistical software to facilitate research and analysis of results. The university offers many development opportunities, including workshops on the most current topics, such as ChatGPT and Python, as well as various scientific and business conferences. I encourage anyone who wants to pursue an academic career and gain top-quality research experience to choose Kozminski University. It is an excellent place for research and scientific development.,,

Dr. Olha Zadorozhna


,, We actively support academics in applying for: grants, scholarships, and awards. We accompany them at every stage of their career. Professional support for conducting scientific activities is our distinguishing feature, which attracts the best to us.,,

Beata Chmura


,, I joined the Academy nearly a quarter of a century ago, because even then it had a very clear vision: to create a modern, leading research business university in Europe. That vision has come true, and the academy, like few others, combines incredible flexibility of operations with high rigor and management excellence, as well as the ability to stay ahead of trends, such as in the areas of data science and AI.,,

Prof. Dariusz Jemielniak


,, My journey with Kozminski University began in 1996. This year, on the other hand, I found myself - to my surprise at how quickly time passes - among the strictest group of longest-serving employees. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to teach, inspire and grow with successive generations of students. Working at the University is a unique experience that not only allows you to gain knowledge and skills, but also gives you a chance to make friends. Kozminski is an amazing place driven by the passion of the people. ,,

Dr Jolanta Tkaczyk


,, The success of Kozminski University is due to people who are brave, independent and think differently ,,

Prof. Aneta Hryckiewicz-Gontarczyk
