She earned her PhD from the University of Warsaw’s Department of Economics, and holds Master’s Degrees from University College Dublin (Economic Sciences) and the University of Wroclaw (Sociology). At Kozminski University, she is the founder and Director of the CRASH Center for Research on Social Change and Human Mobility. Her previous roles include Director of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School at SWPS University (2016–2021) and long-standing affiliation with the Centre of Migration Research in Warsaw (2002–2019), where she continues as a Scientific Board member. Prof. Grabowska is the Scientific Coordinator of Horizon Europe Link4Skills, a global research and innovation project tackling skill shortages. She has also served as the Principal Investigator of the European University Alliance EUonAIR, a transformative project that received top evaluation scores under the Erasmus+ European Universities Initiative. EUonAIR revamps education through AI in curricula, smart univerCities, and (return) mobility. Her keynote at EUNIS highlights why teaching at European Universities without research is incomplete in the AI era, drawing from her leadership experience in both EUonAIR and Link4Skills. She presents a compelling vision of universities as immersive, AI-driven ecosystems, where learning, innovation, and civic impact converge to prepare learners not just to adapt—but to lead—in a rapidly transforming world.
