Prof. Izabela Grabowska has been awarded one of the most prestigious research fellowships in Europe – the Fernand Braudel Senior Fellowship at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence. From 1 September to 30 November 2025, Prof. Grabowska will be affiliated with the Department of Political and Social Sciences at EUI, where she will conduct research on labour migration, automation processes, and the impact of artificial intelligence on labour markets and society.   The Fernand Braudel Senior Fellowships programme is designed for distinguished scholars from around the world who have made significant contributions to their fields and wish to pursue new projects in close international collaboration. Participation in this programme is not only an exceptional recognition of academic excellence but also an opportunity to build global research networks and exchange ideas with scholars representing diverse disciplines in the social and political sciences.   “It is a great honour and an invaluable opportunity to conduct research at one of the most important academic institutions in Europe. I hope that this fellowship will result not only in new scientific publications but also in fresh international projects and initiatives,” emphasizes Prof. Izabela Grabowska.   The European University Institute in Florence is among Europe’s leading academic institutions, renowned for educating political and administrative elites and conducting groundbreaking scientific research. This distinction is both a recognition of Prof. Grabowska’s scholarly achievements and a confirmation of the strong position of Kozminski University on the international map of social and interdisciplinary research.
