[IGSMAIL-8565] Fwd: Call for Abstracts: IAG 2025 Scientific Assembly session on "Geodesy at the Intersection of Science and Policy"

[Allison Craddock]

Dear Colleagues,

Abstract submission for the IAG 2025 Scientific Assembly (1-5
September 2025) session on "Geodesy at the Intersection of Science and
Policy," is now open! This session is part of the Global Geodetic
Observing System (GGOS) Symposium, G11: Geodesy for Society: Data
Management, Policy Networking and Public Engagement.

Session Description:
Our Earth is a living, breathing planet that is constantly changing,
and our precise position on this changing planet creates a common
language that translates so much about our existence into meaningful
knowledge. While almost everyone uses geodesy in some way, very few
people understand the science and infrastructure that goes into
providing positioning and gravity data reliably and sustainably enough
to fuel trusted Earth intelligence. Raising awareness is key to
securing sustainable investment in geodesy, and facilitates the
understanding and appreciation of geodesy in a way that engages not
only technical users but also policy makers.

We welcome and encourage abstracts exploring:
-  Effective communication, advocacy, and political efforts to
increase the visibility and sustainability of geodesy in the policy
arena.
-  Use cases of successful funding proposals/campaigns, especially
those that bridge the science- policy interface.
-  Examples of trans-disciplinary collaborations with geodesy
stakeholder networks providing a scientific basis for policy
decisions.

We look forward to receiving your abstracts by March 15 here:
