PAS Authorities
The highest body of the Academy is the General Assembly. Its members are the national members of the Academy, who have voting rights.
Between sessions of the Assembly, all strategic decisions are made by a smaller group, the Presidium, which is selected from among the members of the Polish Academy of Sciences in order to maintain democratic standards of management of the Academy.
In the periods between meetings of the Presidium, the day-to-day activities of the Polish Academy of Sciences are managed by its President.
The Chancellor manages the Academy’s Chancellery, which is the organisational and administrative base of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
General Assembly
The Assembly determines the directions of the Academy’s activities and supervises all of its activities, adopting resolutions in this regard that are binding on other bodies of the Academy.
It may also express its opinion on matters of importance to the nation and the state. Sessions of the General Assembly are convened at least twice a year.
Unless otherwise provided by law or the statutes, resolutions of the General Assembly are adopted by a simple majority of votes in the presence of at least one-third of the national members. Members who have reached the age of 75 are not counted in the calculation of the required quorum.
The General Assembly of the Academy is chaired by the President of the Academy, who convenes General Assembly sessions at least twice a year.
He or she also does so at the request of one-fifth of the national members, no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of the request.
