Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of the 20th century Lviv electrical engineers had belonged to the Electrical Engineering Section of the Polytechnic Association in Lviv, and its Cracow counterparts – to the Electrical Engineering Section of the Cracow Technical Association. The Lviv Section was strongly supported by the Electrical Engineering Section of the Cracow Technical Association, which was created later but had a similar programs. After the First World War the common activities of electricians from Cracow and Lviv concentrated on creating one national organization of electrical engineers. In 1919 electricians from Cracow and Lviv were among the main initiators of the All-Poland Convention of Electrical Engineers in Warsaw. The Association of Polish Electrical Engineers (SEP) was founded during that Convention. Afterwards and especially after unifying Poland, both the Lviv Section and the Cracow Section contributed towards unifying Polish electrical engineers, and in the subsequent years – as a Sections of the SEP – they both worked in harmony to develop that segment of Polish science and economy.
