Education and Careers

Membership of University Geoscience UK is open to all departments/schools in higher education institutions with teaching and/or research interests in geoscience. 

A membership fee is set annually, presently £60. Departmental/school representation at meetings is open to respective heads of department/school or their delegated substitutes. 

Meetings

Meetings of University Geoscience UK are normally held twice a year, in spring and autumn. We aim to alternate the venue between Burlington House in London, and a university campus somewhere outside London. Additional meetings can be called at any time, and the Executive may meet more frequently. It is the responsibility of the Executive, through the Chairman and Secretary, to ensure that agendas are completed and circulated well in advance of meetings.

Minutes are taken during meetings, and these are circulated to all departmental/school heads and executive members as soon as possible thereafter. Correspondence to or from University Geoscience UK is through the Chairman and/or the Executive Secretary. Important items of correspondence are circulated between the two. Minutes of the meetings can be downloaded from the passworded Members' Page.
