The Future of IAGA

IAGA Young Scientists' Committee
In 2004 IAGA established a committee of young scientists to consider the current and future state of IAGA and IAGA science, how the organisation was performing, and how it might, or should, change. The committee's report was presented to the IAGA Executive Committee and to the first meeting of the Conference of Delegates. (Report, pdf, 131kb)

Task Group on the Future of IAGA
In 2003 IAGA established a committee of senior scientists to consider the future of IAGA and IAGA science. The Task Group consulted IAGA officers and National Correspondents by questionnaire and presented the results to the IAGA Executive Committee and to the first meeting of the Conference of Delegates. Draft recommendations were prepared, including some of the ideas generated by the Young Scientists's Committee.
