The IGS accomplishes its mission through many of its components such as Committees, Pilot Projects, and Working Groups. Committees are established to oversee and continuously develop operational IGS products or core components and provide governance and support to IGS Data, Products, and Services. Pilot Projects (PPs) are established to investigate or develop a new IGS product or core component. Working Groups (WGs) are established to address a specific scientific or technical issue or work on a particular topic related to the IGS mission.
Read the Policy for the Establishment of IGS Working Groups, Pilot Projects, and New Operational Products to learn more on how each are established.
Please note, the nomenclature of IGS Components was redefined in November 2023, in accordance with the most recent revision of IGS Terms of Reference. Click here for more information.
