We warmly invite you to the first seminar in the CASE Studies series, which will focus on the report “Qualifications Beyond Borders: Recognition of Ukrainian Diplomas and Qualifications in Poland”, prepared by the CASE team for CARE International in Poland as part of the Skills Alliance initiative. The report is based on research conducted among Ukrainian migrants, public institutions, and universities, analyzing the functioning of the qualifications recognition system — both from legal and practical perspectives.
The report presents a comprehensive analysis of the process of recognizing the professional and academic qualifications of Ukrainian citizens in Poland after February 24, 2022, with particular attention to the nostrification procedures and their impact on the professional and social situation of migrants. The publication reveals tensions between the formal procedures in place and their actual implementation in practice — both for individuals seeking nostrification and for supporting institutions.
During the seminar, we will explore, among other topics:
-
the barriers faced by refugees and displaced persons seeking to continue their professional careers in Poland,
-
institutional inconsistencies, and
-
possible pathways for reform.
Speakers: Dr. Jan Bazyli Klakla and Zuzanna Stańska, along with invited guests.
CASE Studies is a series of open seminars dedicated to social research conducted by the team at CASE – Center for Social and Economic Analysis in Warsaw. We present the findings of our analyses, reports, and publications, covering a wide range of topics — from migration and education to institutional change, the green transition, and key public policies. Each seminar features invited discussants from diverse backgrounds to collectively reflect on the findings and their implications. The seminars serve as a space for dialogue on contemporary social challenges and ways to better understand them. The seminars are held online on the first Wednesday of each month.
