Międzynarodowa współpraca Polskiego Towarzystwa Statystycznego
International cooperation of the Polish Statistical Association

Summary/Abstract: The author describes forms of international cooperation in the years 1912–2011 of the Polish Statistical Association (PTS). In the first period of activity, the main form of cooperation was the participation of PTS members in the congresses of the International Statistical Institute and the Econometric Society. After 1989, the PTS organized and sponsored international conferences and scientific seminars in Poland. Particular attention is devoted to four statisticians, who played a prominent role in international activities and the development of the Society as well as Polish statistics, i.e. Professors Jerzy Neyman, Jan Piekałkiewicz and Jan Czekanowski and also to dr. Jan Wiśniewski. The study highlighted the role of a magazine published in English, ”Statistics in Transition” (later ”Statistics in Transition – new series”) in PTS international cooperation.
