The International Geodetic Student Organisation (also known as IGSO) is an international, independent, non-political, non-profit organisation run by and for geodesy students and young geodesists.
Aim
The aims of the IGSO are:[2]
- to bring organisations of geodesy students of all countries together
- to represent geodetic students in public
- to organise connections between the member associations
- to establish and to strengthen the co-operation with the authorities
These aims are organised and realised by the International Geodetic Students Meeting (IGSM) and the General Assembly.
Structure
The members of the IGSO are associations of universities representing geodetic students.
The IGSO consists of these institutions:
- The General Assembly.
- The International Geodetic Students Agency (the General Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Actuary)
- The auditors of account.
The structure of the IGSO and the realisation of the IGSM 2004 was presented at the ISPRS meeting 2006.[3]
Meetings and Activities
Every year the IGSO organises an International Geodetic Students Meeting (IGSM) in a different country. These meetings allow students to exchange experiences from geodesy and to get to know other countries' customs and culture.
History
The first IGSM was organised in the Netherlands by geodesy students from the TU Delft. The IGSO was founded later during the fourth IGSM in Graz, Austria.

Partners
The IGSO is a partner organisation of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) [20]
