The members of the IGSO are associations of universities representing geodetic students.

[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.

Past and future meetings:[4] The IGSO is a partner organisation of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG)[26]
