Rafał Barański

I am a PhD student at the Pedagogical University of Krakow in the discipline of political science and administration. My research interests focus on public policy planning and the process of planning and implementing public policy within decentralised systems of governance, as well as strategic management in self-government.

I am a graduate of the Jagiellonian University, having majored in self-government administration and cultural studies. I have completed postgraduate studies in the evaluation of public policies and the organisation of the social assistance system. I have professional experience in management confirmed by an MBA diploma.

My doctoral thesis concerns the development of environmental forms of support for dependent persons and the transformation of 24-hour care facilities into local centres of social services.
