The researcher heads the Department of Business Informatics and International Accounting at the University of Economics in Katowice. Her research interests include creating and managing IT systems in business and public organizations. Her research is embedded in the sustainable information society theory.

Among the most important criteria that determine EASA membership, Professor Ewa Zięba names openness, innovation and acting for the good of science and art. She emphasises that one can become a member of this body only as a result of a nomination issued and approved by members - scientists and artists. The candidate's eligibility is determined based on their achievements in science, art and management.

According to the University of Economics in Katowice, Professor Ewa Zięba proposed the original concept of a sustainable information society and performed its operationalisation and empirical verification. She carried out a multi-dimensional analysis of the use of ICT by the main stakeholders of a sustainable information society: households, businesses and public administration, and various types of sustainability: ecological, economic, social, cultural and political, as well as the coincidence between the use of ICT and sustainability.

In 2020, the results of her research on sustainable information society were recognised by the Minister of Science and Higher Education, who honoured Professor Ewa Zięba with an award for significant scientific achievements.

The researcher has published over 200 scientific papers and three monographs, edited 20 scientific volumes and several textbooks.
