The MoU expresses a mutual desire to cooperate on a range of themes in the field of ethics in geoscience. It helps to assure a continued IAPG-GC cooperation and coordination on issues of common interests, in particular, the following:
- promotion of principles of ethics, research integrity, and professional ethical deontology in geoscience activities among their networks;
- definition of ethical issues, with accompanying case-studies, where appropriate, affecting the geoscience community and organizations;
- co-organization of scientific events to disseminate concepts of ethics in geoscience, among both the professional and research communities, with particular attention to young geoscientists;
- production of relevant publications and communications.
Geoscientists Canada is the national organization of the 9 provincial and territorial regulatory bodies that govern Canada's professional geoscientists and geoscientists-in-training.
