Gerald Clement
In 1976, Gerald Clement, then UFG President convened a first meeting with the President of the Geological Society and the Representative of the geologists of Northern Spain, to discuss the creation of a European Body which should promote and defend the profession all over Europe. Further meetings in London and Paris in 1977 led to the first draft dealing with the objectives of a future European community of geologists including the seven countries of the CEE.
One of the founding fathers of the FEG in 1980, Gerald Clement, as Secretary General proposed to host the EFG legal seat at the Maison de la Géologie in Paris.
Gerald was the third FEG President, between 1986 and 1989, and it was under his Direction that contact was made with the European Parliament about the recognition of the qualification of geologists through a harmonization of the formation and qualifications. He fully supported the creation of the title of EurGeol. After his retirement in 1995, he remained deeply concerned in EFG activities.
