The International Geodetic Student Organisation (also known as IGSO) is an international, independent, non-political, non-profit organisation run by and for geodesy students and young geodesists.

Aim

[edit]

The aims of the IGSO are:[2]

  • to bring organisations of geodesy students of all countries together
  • to represent geodetic students in public
  • to organise connections between the member associations
  • to establish and to strengthen the co-operation with the authorities

These aims are organised and realised by the International Geodetic Students Meeting (IGSM) and the General Assembly.

Structure

[edit]

The members of the IGSO are associations of universities representing geodetic students.

The IGSO consists of these institutions:

  • The General Assembly.
  • The International Geodetic Students Agency (the General Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Actuary)
  • The auditors of account.

The structure of the IGSO and the realisation of the IGSM 2004 was presented at the ISPRS meeting 2006.[3]

Meetings and Activities

[edit]

Every year the IGSO organises an International Geodetic Students Meeting (IGSM) in a different country. These meetings allow students to exchange experiences from geodesy and to get to know other countries' customs and culture.

History

[edit]

The first IGSM was organised in the Netherlands by geodesy students from the TU Delft. The IGSO was founded later during the fourth IGSM in Graz, Austria.
