My name is Ida Musiałkowska and I’m an Associate Professor at the Department of European Studies of the Poznań Univeristy of Economics and Business. I’ve been an active member of the Regional Studies Association since 2003 involved in organizing conferences, special sessions and co-editing of the special issues of many journals. My main aim as the second Regional Studies Association Ambassador to Poland is to try to integrate the scholars working on different aspects of regional policy and development. Through the activities related to the functioning of RSA I’d like to promote the ideas of the association among young scholars and the academic community working mainly in the Western part of Poland, and practitioners. All works are co-ordinated with the first RSA Ambassador to Poland – prof. Maciej Smętkowski from EUROREG.

I hope to see you at one of the many RSA events and to work with you to advance the understanding of regional development in Poland. I invite you to contact me in this regard.
