Our lecturers in Moldova during the International Scientific Conference "Current Issues in Socio-Humanities"

Our university is continually working to develop new avenues of international cooperation, expanding the geographical reach of scientific contacts and strengthening partnerships with leading educational and scientific institutions around the world. An important step in this direction has been the expansion of cooperation with Moldova i Romaniawhich opens up new opportunities for joint educational and scientific projects.

13 March 2025 Janusz Sobon i Ruslana Selezneva took part in International Scientific Conference "Current Issues in the Socio-Humanities"which took place in Chisinau (Republic of Moldova).

A notable event of the conference was the signing of cooperation agreements between our university and Free International University of Moldova (Free International University of Moldova). The signing of the agreement has opened up new prospects for international scientific cooperation and has been an important step in strengthening relations with scientific institutions Romania i Moldova.

The conference brought together leading academics and researchers from Romania, Slovenia, Hungary, Lithuania, Moldova, Bulgaria i Ukraine, creating a unique platform for the exchange of experiences and discussion of current issues in the field of social sciences and humanities.

As part of the conference, our professors addressed the plenary session with a paper on "Digital transformation of the modern economy - the experience of Poland".. In their presentation, the authors discussed key issues related to digitisation processes in the Polish economy and proposed new approaches to solving current problems in this area. The paper was met with great interest by the participants and stimulated a substantive discussion. At the end of the conference, the organisers presented the participants with certificates in recognition of their contribution to the development of scientific dialogue and academic cooperation.

We would like to thank the organisers for the high organisational level of the event and the the opportunity to participate in such an important scientific event. We look forward to continued fruitful cooperation and participation in future conferences.

Speech by our lecturer at the conference "SECURITY FORUM 2025"

On 12-13 February 2025, a prestigious conference was held within the walls of the Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica (Slovak Republic). "Security Forum 2025"., organised by the Department of Security Studies. The event brought together experts from various fields, Among them was our lecturer, Dr Tomasz Dukiewicz. Together with other researchers, he analysed contemporary security threats - from national issues to global challenges. Thematic panels addressed key aspects of social, economic, cyber, energy and military security, presenting the latest research and its practical conclusions.

Presentation by Dr Tomasz Dukiewicz on stochastic risks among important guests

The conference was opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Security Sciences at UMB doc. dr. Branislav Kováčik, PhD., welcoming the guests who had arrived. Among them were representatives of the Minister of Defence, the National Security Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as diplomats, scientists and people representing various universities and research centres.

Among them was also Tomasz Dukiewicz, representing our University - D. in military science in the field of management theory and unit application, as well as mechanised divisions. During the conference he presented a paper on "Stochastic threats and their impact on societal security". At the beginning of his speech, the doctor drew attention to the nature of risks and hazards:

"Stochastic hazards are risks that are random in nature, difficult to predict and often unavoidable, but have a significant impact on societal security. Their analysis and management are key to minimising negative impacts and increasing societal resilience."

One of the topics Stochastic threat analysis in the context of social security

Later in the presentation, the speaker highlighted Russia's activities and the impact of disinformation on selected European Union countries. Of great interest were the analyses presented of selected age groups and their concerns about threats and examples of Russian service activities in the Republic, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland in the years (2020-2025). 

Dr Tomasz Dukiewicz pointed out that stochastic threats pose a significant challenge to societal security, as their unpredictability makes effective prevention difficult. It is therefore crucial to implement strategies to minimise risk, increase community resilience and develop preventive technologies. Only in this way can society be effectively protected from the consequences of accidental and deliberately created crises.

Publication by Dr. Grzegorz Hare in the framework of the international conference "Safe Slovakia and the European Union"

Dr Grzegorz Zając, a lecturer at our university who focuses his area of interest on aviation policy and aviation law, took part in the 17th International Scientific Conference "A secure Slovakia and the European Union". At the event, held on 22 November 2024 at the University of Safety Management in Košice (Slovakia), he presented his scientific paper entitled. "European Aviation Safety and Security Regulatory Framework: A Case Study of Slovakia", published in a peer-reviewed scientific monograph accompanying the conference.

The topic of regulation and civil aviation safety in Europe

Dr Hare's publication addresses the key regulatory issues of Safety and Security in Europe, with particular reference to the case of Slovakia. The article analyses the European and national legal framework, examining its impact on the development of the aviation sector and the level of safety of air operations. A great deal of attention is paid to the role of the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), national implementation of civil aviation security rules and passenger safety issues in the European Union. This study is a valuable contribution to the discussion on the challenges and future of aviation regulation in the EU.

Support of the work on the publication by our University

Participation in the conference and the preparation of the publication were made possible thanks to the support of the College of Vocational Training in Wrocław, which contributed to the development of scientific research in the area of aviation safety and regulation.
