Look Back at the IAG Geodesy Reception 2025
We are pleased to report that the IAG Geodesy Reception at this year’s EGU General Assembly, held on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, was a great success!
Hosted at the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying (BEV) in Vienna, the event brought together 130 participants from the geodesy community. It was wonderful to see such vibrant engagement, with a gender distribution of 30% female and 70% male attendees. Notably, around 55% of participants were Early Career Scientists (ECS), highlighting the reception’s value as a key networking and connection opportunity for the next generation of geodesists.
We received a lot of positive feedback during and after the event, and we believe the reception provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas, fostering collaboration, and strengthening our community.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our sponsors for making this event possible:
- International Association of Geodesy (IAG) – major sponsor
- EGU Geodesy Division
- BEV – Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying of Austria
- GGOS – Global Geodetic Observing System of IAG
Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to seeing you at future events!
