The Warsaw Ecological Economics Centre

The Warsaw Ecological Economics Centre (WOEE) is a research centre founded in 1993, operating within the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the University of Warsaw. The main objective of the Centre is to improve and popularise methods and tools of economics to solve problems related to environmental protection. We specialise in issues concerning the natural environment and natural resources, as well as the assessment of their impact on social welfare.

We achieve our objective by:

  • conducting scientific research on the advisability and effectiveness of taking action to protect the environment and on the rational use of natural resources;
  • actively participating in projects to implement the results of our scientific research and expertise in the field of environmental economics;
  • demonstrating ways to resolve conflicts between different interest groups, in the context of the use of environmental resources that meet the conditions of economic efficiency and social justice;
  • popularising the use of tools in economics for the rational use of natural resources, aimed at maximising social welfare - organising courses, training sessions, and engaging in public debate;
  • offering educational activities, primarily intended for students from the University of Warsaw, aimed at providing the most up-to-date knowledge about environmental economics and information on its practical applications.
