    I deal with economy, law and energy as well as international cooperation not only from the business perspective. I have written a number of scientific publications – papers and books, in which I analysed the above-mentioned topics.

    These issues are covered by my academic activity, i.e. they appear in my lectures and classes, and they are also represented in my public activity (speeches at conferences and debates or comments for the media). More on this can be found in the sections News, Publications, Media, or in my blog and YouTube channel.

    My experience is based on work carried out for business’ and public administration. In my actions, I try to combine elements of law and economics. I do not limit myself only to the Polish market, I am also very active internationally. More in About Me.
