The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) is a global professional, not-for-profit association for geoscientists and engineers with approximately 19,000 members worldwide. It provides a global network of commercial and academic professionals to all members. The association is truly multi-disciplinary and international in form and pursuits.
All members of EAGE are professionally involved in (or studying) geophysics, petroleum exploration, geology, reservoir engineering, mining and mineral exploration, civil engineering, tunneling and environmental matters. EAGE operates two divisions: the Oil & Gas Geoscience Division and the Near Surface Geoscience Division.
EAGE organizes the following activities for its members:
- Events (conferences, exhibitions, workshops)
- Publications (journals, books)
- Educational Programs (short courses, webinars, lectures)
- Student Programs
Lviv Polytechnic National University is the oldest technical higher educational institution in Ukraine and East Europe. It was founded in 1816. University consists of 16 institutes, 114 departments; autonomous, additional and general subdivisions.
Creation of Institute of geodesy took place on January 24, 1945. This day it was founded geodetic faculty of the Lviv polytechnical institute which carried on the best traditions of the Lviv geodetic school begun in the eighteenth century.In the Lviv polytechnology of teaching geodesy began since 1844. On June 18, 1871 the Ukraine's first department of geodesy and spherical astronomy which was headed by professor Dominique Zbrozhek began to work. In 1878 at department the astronomical observatory was open. 1884 the department of geodesy and spherical astronomy was divided into two: geodesies (the manager - S. V_dt) and spherical astronomy and the highest geodesy (V. Lask since November, 1885). 1886 on engineering office it was open courses of the geometr which based geodetic specialty. In 1901 at the initiative of professor Václav Laski the seismic station was created. 1908 the department of spherical astronomy and the highest geodesies was headed by L. Grabovsky, 1912 the manager. departments of geodesy there was K. Vaygel. 1921 in "The Lviv polyequipment" openly geodetic offices at engineering faculty with three departments.
