Project Manager
Trainer
Dr. Kamila Franz works as a project manager for EU projects at the Comparative Research Network. She graduated from the International Doctoral Studies in the Natural Sciences at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and holds a doctorate in biology from Warsaw University. She completed her master’s degree in Environmental Protection at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Prior to joining the CRN, she worked as an editor for scientific journals and publishers, as well as a researcher focusing on various methods and tools in ecology. She has maintained a consistent interest in diverse aspects of human impact on nature and is currently delving into the issues of political engagement in light of climate change.
