others combine geodesy with environmental protection, 
meteorology or drainage and other agricultural 
specializations. Yearly, about 500 students begin study in 
all above mentioned universities. But only about 30 
students specialize in photogrammetry and remote 
sensing, and only 15 students is graduated yearly. The 
scope of photogrammetric education is carefully adjusted 
to fulfill the needs of passive and active photogram- 
metrists. Also foreigners are educated at the university 
level. We have students from some Asiatic and African 
countries. 
The photogrammetric and remote sensing university and 
research stuff is following: 5 professors, 4 associate 
professors, 35 doctors. 
The university studies in geology, cartography and 
geography include photogrammetry and remote sensing 
courses also. 
4. PROFESSIONAL SUBJECTS 
Two main professional organizations for photogrammetry 
and remote sensing are active in Poland: 
POLISH SOCIETY OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND 
REMOTE SENSING (PSPRS) - is the scientific section of 
POLISH GEODETIC ASSOCIACION (SGP). The activity 
of PSPRS began in 1930. In 1984 PSP took name 
PSPRS. The area of activity of PSPRS is Poland PSPRS 
continues the activity of PSP which was interrupted in 
1939. 
The aims of PSPRS are: 
a) activity in the field of photogrammetry and remote 
sensing together with various technical application, 
b) popularization and promotion of photogrammetric and 
remote sensing methods in different scientific and 
technical fields, 
c) exchange, publication and circulation of information 
within the country and abroad. 
The supreme authority of the Society is the General 
Assembly. The General Assembly consists of all 
members of the Society, and every three years the 
President and, by the separate voting, the Council of the 
Society are elected. 
The number of active specialists in the Society is about 
150. PSPRS is a member of the Main Technical 
Organization in Poland (NOT- it is federation of scientific, 
and technical associations). 
, Legislative basis of the professional activities of PSPRS 
is statues law issued 27 October 1932 (Dz.U.R.P. Nr 94, 
poz.808) and amended 9 June 1982 (M.P. Nr 17, 
poz.144). 
Main Technical Organization (NOT) and Polish Geodetic 
Association (SGP) have established the awards 
(monetary grant) to the author of outstanding merit also 
on photogrammetry, photointerpretation or remote 
sensing. 
POLISH GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY (PTG) - THE CLUB 
FOR REMOTE SENSING SPECIALISTS is active in 
Poland on the basic of PTG Statutes. 
International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996 
   
  
The objective of the Club is the activity on 
photointerpretation field particularly for searching 
geographical environment. The number of members of 
the Club is about 30. They are members of PTG. 
Polish Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing 
and The Club for Remote Sensing Specialists of Polish 
Geographical Society established a common consulting 
body to improve the cooperation. 
Actual changes in the professional activity of 
photogrammetry and remote sensing specialists as well 
as changes within the organization of associations, will 
possibly change the number of members as PSPRS as 
The Club for Remote Sensing Specialists of PTG. 
5. BIBLIOGAPHY 
During period 1992-96 there were published some 200 
scientific and technical papers. 
In 1994 it was agreed among Polish Society for Photo- 
grammetry & Remote Sensing, Polish Geographical 
Society - Club for Remote Sensing, cartographic and 
photogrammetric sections of the Committee for Geodesy 
of Polish Academy of Science and Cartographic Section 
of Polish Geodetic Association, that an editorial series 
»Archives of Photogrammetry, Cartography and Remote 
Sensing” is being established for the use by those 
organisation to publish various materials, also those 
papers which are presented during pertinent symposia 
and conferences in Poland.
