✈️ Every journey starts with expectations.

Before coming to Poland, many international students wonder what life here will really be like. Will it feel welcoming? Will it be easy to adapt? Will I find my place?

The truth is that every experience is different but for many of our alumni, Poland became much more than just a study destination. It became a place where they built friendships, discovered new opportunities, and created memories that stayed with them long after graduation.

Through the stories of our international alumni, we want to share the reality behind the stereotypes and show what it truly means to start a new chapter in a new country.

💭 What was your first impression of Poland?

What was the first thing you thought about Poland before moving here?

But what is it really like to live, study, and work in Poland as an international student or alumni?

🌍 Sometimes reality exceeds expectations.

For many international students, Poland becomes much more than just a place to study. It becomes a place where new friendships begin, confidence grows, opportunities appear, and completely new paths open up.

Through the stories of our alumni, we want to show the experiences behind every international journey - the challenges, the discoveries, and the moments that shape who we become.

Because sometimes the biggest opportunities are waiting where you least expect them.

Serdecznie dziękujemy wszystkim Absolwentom i Absolwentkom Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego oraz gościom za tak liczną obecność, aktywność oraz ogromne zaangażowanie w dyskusję. Cieszymy się, że mogliśmy wspólnie stworzyć przestrzeń do rozmowy o wyzwaniach, szansach i odpowiedzialności związanej z rozwojem AI w obszarze cyberbezpieczeństwa.

🔏 Jedno po tej debacie jest pewne - AI nie jest już technologią przyszłości, tylko realnym graczem w świecie cyberbezpieczeństwa. A największą przewagę dają dziś nie same narzędzia, lecz ludzie, którzy potrafią łączyć innowacje, wiedzę i szybkie reagowanie na nowe zagrożenia❗

We are delighted that we were able to create a space together to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities associated with the development of AI in the field of cybersecurity.
