At the beginning of 2006 the Chair of Geodesy and Photogrammetry was transformed into the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics. The newly created institute has been divided into three units – the Department of Cartography, Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics, the Department of Geodesy and Geodynamics, Department of Fundamentals of Geodesy – and two laboratories – the GIS Laboratory and the Laboratory of Geodetic Technologies. The IGG staff is about 30 people (8 Professors) and 13 PhD students.

Witold Rohm
Innovation & Data ManagerHe graduated Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences (Geodesy) and University of Wrocław (Geography). He received PhD and Dr. Sci title from UPWr. Currently he holds a Remote Sensing chair at IGIG-UPWr. He is the Leader of SpaceOS Research Group in UPwr.
Grzegorz Jozkow
Quality Manager & LiDAR specialistHe received his M.Sc. degree in Geodesy and Cartography from the Agricultural University of Wroclaw (Poland). He defended his PhD in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in 2010. In the years 2013-2016 he worked as post-doctoral researcher at The Ohio State University (USA).
Jan Kapłon
GNSS specialistHe received a Ph.D. in Geodesy and Cartography in 2008 from Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences of UPWr. His interest is focused on the retrieval of near real-time state of troposphere using GNSS as well as on satellite methods for high-rate determination of positions.
He is the Leader for UPWr for the EPOS-PL+ project.
Iwona Kudłacik
PhD (GNSS)Since 2016 she is a PhD Student in UPWr Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics, where her main field of scientific interests is GNSS-seismology – the application of GNSS technique in analysis of measurable effects of seismic events.
Damian Tondaś
PhD (GNSS/InSAR)Since 2016 he is a PhD student in Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. His study area includes near-real time GNSS processing and integration with InSAR.
Agata Walicka
PhD (LiDAR)Received two BSc in 2015 – in Geodesy and Cartography from UPWr, and in Mathematics from University of Wrocław. In 2016 she received MSc in Geodesy and Cartography from UPWr, where since 2016 she is a PhD student.
TU Delft, Department of Geoscience & Remote Sensing has a long track record in the field of geodesy. The development of techniques for data processing for GNSS as well as InSAR is beneficial for the project. Moreover, the problems of induced seismicity due to mining activities and sinkholes are very important in the Dutch society, and experiences can be shared with the partners of the project. Finally, recent efforts developing integrated geodetic reference stations (IGRS) can be applied in the area of interest for the project as well.
