Could you please introduce yourself?
My name is Joanna Żach and I work at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) in Poland, where I serve as the Institutional Erasmus+ Coordinator. For many years, I have been involved in supporting international mobility – both for students and staff – and in promoting the internationalisation of education within our institution. I’m deeply committed to building bridges between academic communities across Europe and creating meaningful experiences for those who choose to study or work abroad.What inspires me most in my daily work is watching how international exchanges transform people – broadening their horizons, building confidence, and opening them up to new cultures and ways of thinking. Erasmus+ is more than a mobility scheme; it’s a catalyst for personal growth and mutual understanding. At SGGW, we strive to make every exchange experience meaningful, inclusive and enriching. It’s incredibly rewarding to see students return home with not only academic achievements but also lifelong friendships, a stronger sense of identity, and a renewed passion for learning.
Which added value or benefits of UNIgreen would you like to highlight, and why?
To me, UNIgreen is a dynamic space that brings together diverse academic and cultural communities around a shared commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship. It’s a place where collaboration transcends national and disciplinary boundaries, fostering the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and innovative ideas. UNIgreen inspires action and provides tangible tools to address the global challenges facing education and our planet.
Please tell us what UNIgreen means to you, and use one word to describe it.
If I had to choose one word to capture the essence of UNIgreen, it would be “Commitment.”
