Geologische Vereinigung

The Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (GV) is a non-profit international Earth science organization with more than 1,700 members in over 64 countries. Membership is open to scientists and students worldwide. Since 1910 the GV's mission has been:

• to promote scientific study of the Earth's development in time and space and to publish the results of these scientific studies,
• to promote cooperation among science administrators and scientific organizations,
• to initiate and participate in geoscience programs and projects,
• to promote interdisciplinary discussions, publication, and the dissemination of information.

An active exchange of ideas and experiences keeps a scientific community alive. Both junior and senior geologists benefit from these exchanges. The GV fosters them through:

• organising research conferences,
• sponsoring short courses,
• organising excursions,
• publishing the International Journal of Earth Science, the Geologische Rundschau, and
• publishing monographs on the frontiers of Earth sciences with other European societies.

GV supports and sponsors activities of organizations, scientific working groups and colleagues who share the the basic mission of the Geologische Vereinigung.
