All papers of this edition give an opportunity for reflection on the chances, challenges and difficulties associated with the long-term transformation of higher education and scientific activities. Therefore, the concept of “scientific excellence” has been perceived as a guiding idea in the academics’ efforts. On the other hand, it seems to be an ideal that can never be achieved but towards which one ought to strive persistently. Furthermore, the pursuit of excellence is accompanied by contradictions which have been pointed out many times in the history of academia in Poland. This publishing series embodies the belief in the existence of the so-called invisible college, i.e., the research community, exemplified by young scientists starting their academic path inspired by recognized professors.
Michal Klichowski – Professor at the Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU), Poznań, Poland. His current research and projects belong primarily to the area of technology-enhanced learning and educational neuroscience.
Paulina Pospieszna – Associate Professor of Political Science at AMU. Her main research interests are democracy promotion, democratization and democracy backsliding, and the civil society.
Anna Sakson-Boulet – Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism, AMU. Her research focuses on global issues, especially hunger and malnutrition, political ecology and environmental security.
