Agnieszka Kruszewska, MML, MBA, MHRM

I work as the Administrative Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS). Since 2012 I manage the Polish Antarctic Station H. Arctowski, located on King George Island, South Shetland Islands (West Antarctica). My job is to supervise the logistics and investments carried out at the station. In connection with the experience gained in the management of polar infrastructure I have the honor to chair the Polish Polar Consortium, to be a member of the Presidium of the Polar Research Committee of the PAS, to represent the Polish Antarctic Program in COMNAP.

The environment I work in, particularly related to the polar regions, makes my daily life dynamic and challenging, but also gives me the opportunity to work with people who are driven by passion for what they do. It is the people I meet, the passion we share and the mission to work and protect for the benefit of these unique regions of the world that gives me the strength to face any challenges I encounter. Currently, the biggest one is a comprehensive modernization of the infrastructure of the H. Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station. Keep your fingers crossed 🙂
