The Global Geoscience Professionalism Group (GGPG), of which the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) is a founding member, just launched its new website. The website is designed to inform and support the public, governments, and geoscientists globally on geoscience practice around the world.
For more information and updates, you can also follow the GGPG on LinkedIn.
The Global Geoscience Professionalism Group is a follow-up initiative of the former IUGS Task Group on Global Geoscience Professionalism (“TG-GGP”). Formed by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) at the 34th International Geological Congress in Brisbane, Australia, in August 2012, the Task Group provided a single global forum for interchange on professional affairs in geoscience worldwide. Its main purpose was to ensure that geoscientists, active in all areas of geoscience, are fully engaged in the transformation of their profession – a profession that is increasingly relied upon by the public to provide expert opinions and service and to safeguard the public interest. As a founding member, EFG actively participates in all meetings and activities.
