IUGG Membership

Geodetic and geophysical studies inherently require strong international cooperation and effective coordination, which is facilitated through IUGG membership. More than 72 countries are members of IUGG, typically represented by National Committees for Geodesy and Geophysics established by national academies or other adhering bodies.

Join IUGG

Become an IAG Member Country

Every country in the world can become a member of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) by joining the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and selecting IAG as (one of) its associated IUGG association. With the IUGG membership fee, IAG is directly supported, helping to strengthen the geodetic community. 👉 Become an IAG Member Country
