Bozena Cierlik

I was born in Poland, and studied History, Archive Studies and Information Retrieval in KUL University where I obtained my MA. I was awarded PhD from University College Cork for the research on the comparative analysis of some aspects of Polish and Irish political life 1918-1939. I specialise in Polish and East Central European political history after the WWI and Polish Irish relations. My research focues also on the development and transformation of nationalism in a changing world and global response to these changes as well as the concept of civic society, democracy and autonomy of nations. I also undertook research sponsored by European Commission on the development of EU policy formation within the area of Human Computer Interface (HCI) and provided support to EC research projects in terms of planning and executing usability and defining usability standards. I worked as EC evaluator in User Centered Design and Research Task, Access to digital collections of cultural and scientific content, and The Challenge of EU enlargement.
