News
As anticipated by the academic community, the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) has established a new body—the Team for the Development of a Higher Education Strategy. The team comprises recognized experts who will be responsible for preparing a long-term development plan for higher education institutions. Marek Michajłowicz, Deputy Director of the National Information Processing Institute responsible for software development, has become one of its members.

The new challenges facing Polish science today and in the future require thoughtful responses to emerging risks and opportunities. The Ministry of Science and Higher Education, fully supporting the demands of the academic community, is taking steps to increase the diversity of its representation. A suitably broad range of personalities and varied areas of academic interest will ensure a wide perspective that makes it possible to fully harness the potential of Polish science and adapt science policy development to real-world challenges. To this end, the Ministry has established the Team for the Development of a Higher Education Strategy, which will focus, among other things, on identifying key competencies for future generations of students and strengthening the links between universities, the economy, and society.

In addition to identifying priorities and long-term challenges, the new strategy is intended to become a tool of value to the state. It will make it possible to design support programs, funding mechanisms, and staff development initiatives. The Ministry operates under the principle that action taken today will yield results in the future. The appointment of the strategy team is evidence of this approach, and the long-term outcomes of its work will contribute to the development of the entire country.

The newly appointed team includes the following members: Agnieszka Dardzińska-Głębocka (Chair), Agnieszka Bieńkowska, Jakub Brdulak, Adrian Chabowski, Michał Doligalski, Grzegorz Gardocki, Zuzanna Hazubska, Stanisław Kistryn, Krzysztof Korotkich, Wojciech Łużny, Grzegorz Mazurek, Marek Michajłowicz, Robert Musiałkiewicz, Benedykt Odya, Dariusz Surowik, Anna Szcześniak, Katarzyna Śledziewska.
