dr hab. prof. ucz. Paweł Kaczmarczyk

Pawel Kaczmarczyk is a Professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences (Chair of Population Economics and Demography), University of Warsaw and since 2016 the Director of the Centre of Migration Research.

Pawel Kaczmarczyk is associated with the Centre since 1997 when he was involved in the groundbreaking studies on Polish emigration (ethnosurveys) completed in several Polish regions. Currently, his main research interests include economics of migration (in particular: causes and consequences of international labour migration), migration and the labour market, and migration policies. He studies the migration realities and participates in the political debate on mobility (in the past he was a member of the Strategic Advisory Board to the Prime Minister of Poland).

He is a member or an affiliate of numerous bodies dealing with mobility and migration-related issues (e.g. Committee on Migration Research of Polish Academy of Science, IMISCOE) and he is cooperating with international organizations in the field (IZA, World Bank, OECD).

Since 2020, he is a member of the Management Committee of the Initiative for Excellence – Research University (IDUB) programme and coordinator of the Centre of Excellence in Social Sciences (CESS).
