Call for IAG proposals for the IUGG Grants Program 2024-2027

We would like to draw your attention to opportunities within the IUGG Grants Program 2024-2027.     The 2nd call for proposals in 2026-2027 is now open.

For more information and the application form refer to: https://iugg.org/grants-program/grants-program-2024-2027/

If you wish to propose a project via IAG as leading Association, please contact the IAG Secretary General − IAG-Office(at)bkg.bund.de − and submit your proposal for internal IAG reviewing

                                                                          until 13^th of March 2026.

As IAG can submit only one proposal as leading Association, there will be an IAG-internal selection process with a decision by end of March.

Proposed projects for the IUGG Grants Program must:

• explore new scientific ideas, develop future international initiatives, and be of scientific and societal importance to the international geodetic/geophysical community.
• follow open science practices, thus making its scientific research and dissemination (including publications, data, physical samples, and software) accessible to all levels of society, amateur or professional.
• involve at least two IUGG bodies (i.e. IAG plus at least one more IUGG Association or Union Commission), whereby preference will be given to proposals that are multi- and trans-disciplinary, especially those involving more than two of the IUGG Associations and Union Commissions.
• consider aspects of diversity in view of countries/regions, gender and career stage of researchers involved.
• have deliverables that bring increased visibility to IUGG and the Union Associations, and have results that are expected to provide clear recommendations to politicians and other decision makers and to the general public in terms of the urgent actions to be undertaken.

Example: A typical proposal may be for a workshop or a meeting of experts from several disciplines to develop a specific scientific program or assessment, particularly addressing an enhancement of geodetic/geophysical research and education in underdeveloped and developing countries.

Thank you in advance for your interest and kind cooperation!
