The IGSO consists of these institutions:
The structure of the IGSO and the realisation of the IGSM 2004 was presented at the ISPRS meeting 2006. [3]
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.
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.
Past and future meetings: [4]
