Welcome to the Geographical Society of Ireland
The Geographical Society of Ireland (GSI) was founded in 1934 when some ninety people attended the first meeting convened in Academy House, Dublin. At that meeting, the first President Robert Lloyd Praeger was elected. Over eighty years later, the GSI continues to raise awareness of the value and impact of Geography in Ireland and beyond through a diverse range of activities and collaborations. The current President is Associate Prof Niamh Moore-Cherry (UCD). The GSI is well established as an international learned society and is the professional organisation and representative body of geographers in Ireland. Elections occur for Officer posts at the AGM each May. The GSI is a recognised, consultative stakeholder for national policymaking, and is a member of EUGEO (the Association of Geographical Societies in Europe). Society members are actively engaged in enhancing the international profile of Irish geography through their engagement with the International Geographical Union (IGU), RGS-IBG, Association of American Geographers (AAG) and other international groupings |
