I am a graduate of the University of Wrocław, where I studied geography. I also completed post-graduate studies in "Company management in a market economy" at the University of Economics in Wrocław. I obtained my PhD in Earth Sciences in the discipline of socio-economic geography in 2003 at the University of Wrocław. In the years 1996-2000 I worked in the Lower Silesian Regional Development Agency, dealing with the service of the so-called small infrastructure projects co-financed by the European Union PHARE programmes, and in the years 2003-2004 I worked in the team implementing the Integrated Operational Program for Regional Development in the Marshal's Office of the voivodeship Lower Silesia. Since 2004 I have been working at the Institute of Spatial Management of the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. I specialize in research on cross-sectoral territorial cooperation, national and international cooperation of local governments and in issues of social participation in the management of public resources. I am also interested in the subject of spatial planning, border cooperation, nature protection in the Sudetes and the issues of local communities' participation in the energy transformation processes. I have implemented several national research projects on rural development and the operation of cross-sectoral territorial partnerships. Since 1995, I has been a member of the “Student Circle of Sudetes Guides in Wrocław” association.
