Silvia Peppoloni, as IAPG Secretary General, and Mauro Soldati, as IAG President, signed the MoU.
The MoU expresses a mutual desire to cooperate on a range of themes in the field of Geoethics. It helps to assure a continued IAPG-IAG cooperation and coordination on issues of common interests, in particular, the following:
- promotion of principles of geoethics, research integrity and professional deontology in activities on geomorphology among their networks;
- definition of ethical problems, also through case-studies, affecting community and organizations of geomorphologists;
- co-organization of scientific events to disseminate concepts of geoethics, among both the professional and research communities, with particular attention to young/early career geomorphologists;
- production of relevant publications.
Both organizations will establish a liaison to ensure good information flow and cooperation.
