The general meeting of delegates of the Polish Committee on Geotechnics took place in the Water Centre on 18th November 2021. The meeting was opened by prof dr hab. inż. Eugeniusz Koda who was both a member and the vice – chairman of the capital branch of the Polish Committee on Geotechnics. The new authorities of the Polish Committee on Geotechnics were elected for a four-year period. Prof. dr hab. inż. Katarzyna Zabielska-Adamska from the Bialystok University of Technology has been elected the president. Prof. dr hab. inż. from the Warsaw University of Technology and prof. dr hab. inż. Wojciech Puła from the Wrocław University of Technology have been elected the vicepresidents. Prof. dr hab. inż. Zbigniew Lechowicz from the Department of Geotechnics of the Institute of Civil Engineering has become a board member. Prof. dr hab. inż. Alojzy Szymański have become a honorary member.

       The choice of the place of this general meeting was not accidental. The Warsaw University of Life Science hosts the board of the Polish Committee on Geotechnics. In addition, dr hab. inż. Wojciech Sas, prof. SGGW and the Director of the Water Centre acts as the chairman of the capital branch of the Polish Committee on Geotechnics. The strong relationship between the Warsaw University of Life Sciences and the Polish Committee of Geotechnics is also due to the fact that fifteen employees of the Department of Geotechnics and the Water Centre are members of this organisation. We wish the newly elected authorities of the Polish Committee on Geotechnics to implement all the goals set for them.
