IAGA Scientific Structure

IAGA is organised into five Divisions and two Interdivisional Commissions each led by a Chair and Co-Chair. Each Division/Commission may form Working Groups in specialist topic areas and elect officers to run the business of the Working Groups.

The diagram illustrates that the two Interdivisional Commissions coordinate activities across the Divisions for their common interests in history and science in developing countries. (Each box in the image is "clickable" and leads to further information.)

A second diagram is provided to indicate how IAGA operates.
