Institute of Geodesy and Cartography

The Institute of Geodesy and Cartography operates according to the provisions of the scientific institutes. The headquater of the Institute is located in Warsaw. The Geodetic-Geophysical Observatory Borowa Góra located 40 km from Warsaw belongs to the Institute.

The mission of the Institute is to carry out research and applied works in the field of surveying and mapping and related disciplines for science, geodetic and cartographic practice for the needs of state and local governments, national security, as well as for surveying and cartographic enterprises.

An important part of the Institute’s activity is also conducting research and applied works in the field of basic geodetic measurements, as well as the application of aerial and satellite remote sensing in agriculture, environmental protection, regional planning and public statistics.

The Institute cooperates with many national, foreign and international institutions and organizations in carrying out research and development activities.
