Dr. Magdalena Śmieszek is a human rights and global governance expert working at the intersection of international law, technology, and planetary futures. She has worked within international institutions, including a decade long career with UN agencies (UNHCR, UNICEF, UNDP, IOM) around the world, while her scholarly work has examined how international systems evolve under conditions of psychological complexity and global transformation. Across these worlds, one reality became impossible to ignore. People are governed by systems they cannot see, influence, or appeal, creating further gaps between the so-called powerful and the powerless. Cosmocitizens Foundation is her answer to that fracture, to make the cosmopolitan ideals a lived reality for everyone. It is an endeavor to build new civic foundations for a world that is already planetary, and soon interplanetary, so that governance is not merely something that happens to people, but something people co-create.
