Academic Exchange   
   Introduction
Academic Exchange is an important function of Geological Society of China. Over the years,Geological Society of China has actively established academic exchange platforms closely around geoscience frontiers and disciplinary development at home and abroad, which has driven the geological science and technology progress of China, expanded the influence of Chinese geology in the world and made contributions to economic and social development. Major brand academic conferences include:
➤Annual Meeting of GSC
It is a classical and significant academic conference held every two years by the Geological Society of China. As a cross-department, cross-industry and cross-specialty academic exchange event, the annual conference of GSC gathers experts and scholars in geological prospecting industry across the country, providing an academic exchange platform for geologists, especially the young geologists, thus endowed with great significance. Previous conferences have been well received by geoscientific and technological workers in China.
➤World Chinese Geological Congress
To strengthen the learning exchange among global Chinese in the field of Geoscience, and boost the development of geological science and technology, the Geological Society of China, the International Professionals for the Advancement of Chinese Earth Sciences, the Overseas Chinese Earth Science & Technology Association, the Geological Society of Hong Kong, the Department of Geosciences of National Taiwan University, Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica jointly launched the World Chinese Geological Congress ( formerly known as the Symposium on Geological Science across the Taiwan Straits) in 1995. Since 1998, the Congress has been successfully held for nine sessions in Beijing, the Stanford University, the University of Hong Kong, Nanjing University, the Longtan Science Park, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, Chengdu University of Technology, Taipei, and Changchun in Jinlin Province. Now it has been an important academic exchange medium for the Chinese scholars in the field of geosciences all around the world.
➤National Engineering Geology Conference
It is a national academic conference hosted by the Geological Society of China and organized by Engineering Geology Commission of GSC. The session theme encircles with the characters of the organizer and the problems on engineering geology remaining in the region where the organizer is located. The session durates for two days, with about eight themes and invited reports, sixty section talks, and also special assemblies for academic reports by outstanding youth. The conference held every four years, whose themes are in a wide range, invites authorities and scholars not only from the present field, but also from the adjacent disciplines, such as tectonics, geomorphy, lithomechanics. It consists of nearly 100 groups, and some mini symposia, and special assemblies for academic reports by outstanding youth, containing 1000-1200 participants.
➤National Mineral Deposit Conference
It is a national academic conference hosted by the Geological Society of China and organized by Commission on Mineral Deposit Geology of GSC. It obediences to the faith of effectively servicing Major national strategy, implementing Strategy of innovation-driven development in an all-round way, for the purpose of setting up a platform for academic communication to discuss fully new achievements, new theories, new technology gained in the research of ore deposit geology, mineral exploration and relevant disciplines, to improve each other by active discussion, to reach rapidly major ore prospecting breakthrough, to improve the level of exploration and exploitation of resources in China, to enhance the capacity of resource security, to promote geological prospecting industry to greater achievements. The main participants are experts and students from institutes, universities and colleges, geological exploration units, mining companies, governments around the mineral deposit field. In recent five years, the conference attracted 1500 persons or so per year, making itself a banquet of the mineral deposit field.
➤International Geological Congress
Formed in 1876, it is an academic event every four years for the geoscientists allaround the world, having been held for 37 times. The 30th International Geological Congress was held successfully in Beijing in August 1996,the Chinese geoscientists put great importance to the congress. The Geological Society of China is in charge of organizing Chinese geological delegation, collecting excellent geological papers allaround the country, publishing proceedings, recommending famous experts for session convenors, preparing for the Chinese exhibition booth to show the latest achievementsin the Chinese geoscience and technology, and taking an active part in recommending outstanding Chinese geologists to run for the Executive Committee of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). Mr. Cheng Qiuming is the current chairman of IUGS and the IUGS secretariat has been moved and located in China.
