The IAEG holds an international congress every four years, hosted by a country with a national group. Additionally, an international meeting is organised by the IAEG, in many cases on the occasion of, and in conjunction with, the International Geological Congress (IGC). National groups are encouraged to organise symposia on specific engineering geological subjects, under the auspices of the IAEG, in those years in which no IAEG international congress occurs.
