Meet Gosia Gayer, the Institute Administrator at the Grantham Institute

Gosia Gayer, Institute Administrator (Grantham Institute)

What are you doing in the picture?

I’m standing outside the Polish Club, Ognisko Polskie, opposite the Main Entrance on Exhibition Road, which has just been saved from sale. The club provides a social space for the local Polish community and this will continue alongside the plans of the Jagiellonian University, who aim to turn it into a Polish cultural, educational and research centre, and increase academic links with their closest neighbour – Imperial.

What would you do if you were editor of Reporter for a day?

I’d take Imperial researchers and students for a visit to the club for one of its literary lunches featuring guest speakers and I’d report on their experiences.

Who would be your cover star?

I’d gather all the Polish researchers at the College for a photoshoot.

The Club is holding a conference called ‘Knights of freedom: Polish researchers in Great Britain’ on 14 October. If you are interested in attending, contact: g.gayer@imperial.ac.uk
