Collegium of Socio-Economics
Collegium of Socio-Economics is one of the five colleges of the Warsaw School of Economics. In 2008 Collegium celebrated the 40th Anniversary of its foundation.
The Collegium consists of 2 institutes and 13 departments, whose scientific interests contain a wide spectrum of issues, outranging the limits of economic sciences. Our 93-members' faculty consists of 15 Professors which have an official state title, 65 doctors (21 of which have a habilitation) and 12 teaching assistants.
The Collegium is proud to cultivate economic education enriched with a social and humanistic dimension. The Collegium is also a significant research centre. Our Faculty’s research interests include both strictly economic disciplines (such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, banking and public finance), as well as social, political and humanistic domains. Among the latter are: economic history, history of economic thought, public sector management, ecology and sustainable development, social and employment policy, local government finances, local economics, social insurance, sociology, philosophy, logic, political sciences, public administration, international relations in politics, diplomacy, European integration, international law, regional and global security issues.
The Faculty’s profile and its research activity make the Collegium a multidisciplinary board of experts, who serve as counselors and consultants to a number of government and other institutions. Among these are: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the European Integration Committee, the Polish National Bank, the Polish Parliament, city and commune authorities, social and political organisations and mass-media. Our Faculty’s expertise serves also to international organisations, such as the European Commission, the OECD and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The Collegium cooperates widely with both national and foreign academic centres – among others from France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Canada, Belgium, Slovakia, Russia and the Czech Republic. The cooperation results in common research, conferences and publications.
