WSB University at the Opening of the Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Katowice

At the event, held in the Marble Hall of the Silesian Voivodeship Office, WSB University was represented by Prof. Katarzyna Szczepańska-Woszczyna – Vice-Rector for Research and Education at WSB University and Prof. Marcin Lis – Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Cooperation with External Stakeholders at WSB University.

Luiz Hanania assumed the role of Honorary Consul of Ukraine for the Silesian Voivodeship, having been appointed to the position by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the diplomatic community, central and local government, and social and economic circles, including the Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland, Vasyl Bodnar.

The opening of the Consulate marks another important step in developing cooperation between Ukraine and the Silesian Voivodeship, including in the fields of the economy, education, research and international exchange.

WSB University has been developing international partnerships and academic initiatives for many years. The presence of the University’s representatives at the event therefore also provided an opportunity for meetings and discussions on further strengthening cross-border cooperation.

We congratulate Honorary Consul Luiz Hanania on assuming his role and wish him success in his efforts to develop Polish-Ukrainian relations.
