Ad hoc Review Committees
Each committee (ARC) consists of a maximum of five persons, including up to two members from the Executive Committee. The external experts are eminent geoscientists in the field covered by the IUGS body that is to be reviewed. Hence, every ARC has a different composition of members.
International Science Council
The IUGS is a member of the International Science Council (ISC). The ISC is a non-governmental organization with a unique global membership that brings together 40 international scientific Unions and Associations and over 140 national and regional scientific organizations including Academies and Research Councils. The ISC was created in 2018 as the result of a merger between the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC). It is the only international non-governmental organization bringing together the natural and social sciences and the largest global science organization of its type.
