- International Geoscience Programme
The International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) is a cooperative enterprise of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). It was launched in 1972 and originally termed the "International Geological Correlation Programme", the source of the acronym IGCP which it retains. The aim of the IGCP is to facilitate research cooperation among geoscientists across frontiers and national boundaries, through joint research work, meetings and workshops. At the present time IGCP has about 400 active projects involving thousands of scientists from about 150 countries.
