Join IAG!

This is good time to renew your IAG membership or join IAG for the first time. Individuals engaged in geodesy can become members of the IAG on application and payment of the membership fee. Students and retired people are exempt from the membership fee. Members have the right to participate in the IAG election process both as a nominator and a nominee and have a possibility to become a correspondent member in a Sub-commission or Study Group of choice. Moreover there will be reduction in the registration fee for IAG meetings.

Members’ voluntarily contribution to the IAG Funds are greatly appreciated.  Funds are used for travel support for young scientists, to assist in the organization of IAG workshops in developing countries, and to provide annual IAG Best Publication Award for young scientists.
