The Branch was established on December 18, 1970. The Branch operates in the region of the Dolny Śląsk Voivodship covering the disciplines set forth in the statute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The key objective of the Branch is to integrate the scientific community in Wrocław, popularize science, cooperate with local PAN units, and represent the Academy’s scholars and scientists in contacts with the local government. The Branch acts through 18 scientific committees representing individual fields of science, which organize conferences and scientific meetings, provide ongoing support for the Educational Center and the Open University of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and issue both periodicals and single publications.

Publications:
The Branch’s bulletin Nauka Wrocławska (The Wrocław Sciences) addressing the whole scientific community; Prace Komisji Archeologicznej (The Works of the Archeological Commission); e.g. Kultura symboliczna kręgu pól popielnicowych epoki brązu i wczesnej epoki żelaza (The Symbolic Urnfield Culture of the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age); Sztuka epoki brązu i wczesnej epoki żelaza w Europie Środkowej (The Art of the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in Central Europe); and Śląsk około roku 1000 (The Silesia Around the Year 1000); Katedra Wrocławska - dzieje i architektura (The Wrocław Cathedral - History and Architecture); Najnowszy zarys dziejów najstarszego Wrocławia (The Latest Outline of the History of Wrocław's Beginnings); and 50 lat architektury i urbanistyki w Polskiej Akademii Nauk (50 Years of Architecture and Town-Planning in the Polish Academy of Sciences).

The Poznań Branch was established on December 17, 1971. Its activity currently covers two regions: the Wielkopolska and Lubuskie Voivodships. The Branch looks to integrate the scientific community of the region and promote education. It organizes scientific or popular-science sessions and conferences, and issues scientific publications. The unit comprises 19 commissions thematically representing the Academy’s divisions and assembling a considerable portion of the region's scientific community.
The commissions publish their works in print, also in regular book series - the Balkan Studies Commission, for instance, publishes Balcanica Posniensia, while the Machines Construction Commission publishes the series The Archives of Machines and Automatization Technology. The Branch itself issues papers from its scientific sessions in the series entitled The Dialogue of Science and Technology. One of its recent publications is devoted to the Academy’s members from the Wielkopolska region associated with the unit since its establishment. Since 1998, the Branch has co-prepared the Poznań Science and Art Festival organized under the auspices of the Board of Poznań Rectors and hosted major events of the Festival at the PAN Scientific Center at 17 Wieniawskiego Street. The Poznań Branch, on behalf of the Academy, supervises the activity of the house of creative work in Świnoujście.

The Olsztyn and Bialystok Branch (OBB) of the Polish Academy of Sciences, with office in Olsztyn, was established on 11th December 2014 by the General Assembly of PAS (Resolution No 5/2014) and is the fifth territorial Academy branch. It was initiated by the PAS members from Olsztyn (Prof. R. Górecki, Prof. T. Krzymowski, Prof. A. Zięcik) and Białystok (Prof. M. Konarzewski) and supported by the governing authorities of Warmia and Mazury and Podlaskie Provinces as well as the rectors of local universities.
The Branch has currently 19 members of the Academy, including 7 Ordinary Members and 9 Corresponding Members, and also 3 Members of the Academy of Young Scientists.
The Statutory regulations passed by the PAS Presidium on 10th March 2015 (Resolution No 11/2015) oblige the Olsztyn and Białystok Branch, among others, to:

• play initiating and integrating functions within the scientific and cultural circles of the region;
• support scientific activities significant for the national economy and culture and disseminate their results;
• cooperate with the governing and administrative authorities, social organisations and scientific circles and to represent them in front of the central PAS organs;
• initiate and run cooperation- accordingly to the Branch activity area - with the countries neighbouring with Poland.

Carrying out those ambitious objectives started from organising a scientific conference combined with opening of the OBB on 18th September 2015, with participation of Piotr Grzymowicz, Mayor of Olsztyn and President of PAS.
The objective of the conference was to present the Olsztyn and Bialystok Branch of PAS to the scientific and cultural circles of the region and the representatives of the state and local governing authorities as well as to initiate cooperation aimed at further science development.
The same aim was in the publication entitled “The Olsztyn and Bialystok Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences with office in Olsztyn” published at the end of 2015.
