The SGA organizes, beside the biennial scientific meetings, international short courses and workshops and publishes the proceedings. The SGA also supports student chapters.
The objectives of the SGA are:
- To advance the application of scientific knowledge in the study and the development of mineral resources and their environment,
- To promote the profession of geology in science and industry,
- To cultivate personal contacts for mutually beneficial relationships,
- To protect and improve professional and ethical standards among its members.
The SGA was founded in 1965 in Heidelberg and incorporated in Switzerland in 1971.
