The International Geoscience Education Organisation (IGEO) promotes geoscience education internationally at all levels, and works to enhance of the quality of geoscience education internationally and to encourage developments raising public awareness of geoscience, particularly amongst younger people.
To meet these aims, the IGEO
- Monitors international provision of geoscience education
- Fosters geoscience education communications amongst geoscience educators worldwide
- Liaises with international and national bodies concerned with geoscience education, with international professional geoscience bodies, such as the International Union of Geological Sciences (of which it is an affiliate) and with international bodies concerned with science education.
IGEO is led by a Council formed from one member from each interested country. Council meetings occur monthly via Zoom.
IGEO runs the International GeoSciEd Conference every four years, alternating with a representation at the International Geological Congress, which also takes place at four year intervals.
