15-minute city: The study analyzed the extent to which Kraków meets the criterion of 15-minute access to basic public services. Thanks to this, it was possible to identify areas of the city that fully meet this criterion, as well as those that are characterized by significant deficits in this respect.

Territorial agreement: An analysis of the territorial agreement as an instrument for managing the development of the commune, including the city, was carried out. The assumptions underlying this instrument were characterized, as well as the interest and degree of readiness of local government units to use it to manage the development challenges they face in the 2030 perspective.

Project regarding the location of municipal waste collection points (MSWCP): The adopted project methodology allowed for the identification of optimal solutions for the location of MSWCP in the analyzed area of ​​rural communes. This research has the potential to influence future waste management policy by assisting stakeholders in locating MSWCPs.

Project on the comparison of fifteen pedotransfer functions of soil and their usefulness for estimating saturated hydraulic conductivity for heavily eroded loess soil. These studies indicate the problem of determining saturated hydraulic conductivity, which is one of the most important soil parameters influencing surface runoff and the formation of water erosion.

The research results indicated that the idea of ​​the university is in crisis. However, existing university models do not allow for flexibility in relation to external changes. Luhamann is skeptical about the possibility of repairing the functioning university model, but the proposed original concept of The challenge-university (K. Guczalska, W. Gałat) seems to be the closest to meeting the challenges of today’s university.

Electricity in the modern world is the most important factor of social and economic development. The ability to compete and create lasting economic advantages depends on the availability of energy sources that have relatively low operating costs. Energy has become a measure of a country’s position on the international arena. It significantly influences the intensity of relations between economic entities and individual countries.

The situation on the energy market in Poland, but also in the entire European Union, makes it necessary to verify the rules. Changing rules of operation, the emergence of new stakeholders and conditions for the development of the energy market require a broad and interdisciplinary assessment. The ex poste and ex ante perspective allows for a multi-threaded and multi-faceted presentation of the market development strategy. Therefore, it is necessary to attempt to broadly approach the problems focused on energy production using the developing weather-dependent energy sources in Poland, which include solar and wind energy. The research will attempt to present: the relations between the energy industry and the rest of the economy, the concept of sustainable energy development, climate and energy policy, challenges facing the energy sector in connection with current regulations and market trends, legal, administrative and financial conditions for investments in renewable energy in Poland.

The aim of the project is to apply a multidisciplinary (or multithreaded) perspective to the development of the spatial and functional structure of the city. Research and analysis of legal, social and natural issues (aspects) shaping city space will be presented.

The research will focus on urban development strategies in the context of goals related to, among others: with improving the quality of life of residents or improving the quality of the natural environment (including adaptation to climate change) as one of the most important challenges of modern cities. The project will result in case studies of selected urban centers using previous research by team members.
