Rola nauki w państwowej służbie geologicznej

Abstract

Science in the national geological survey.A b s t r a ct. For a century – since the initiative of a group of parliament members to constitute the Polish Geological Institute (PGI) was supported by the Polish Parliament on May 30, 1919 – the PGI has successfully fulfilled all basic responsibilities and commitments that are conventionally assigned to national geological surveys. Like in the past, in modern geological surveys the research is of great importance and it is clear that they cannot exist without science, the same applies to the PGI. The scientific knowledge achieved during the implementation of geological survey tasks is important for the society and the country’s development.
