Abstract
The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS; www.iugs.org/) is the scientific sponsor of the International Geological Congress (IGC), which is generally held every four years and has a proud 140 year tradition. The main purpose of the IGC is to encourage the advancement of applied and fundamental research in the Earth Sciences worldwide. Recent IGCs have attracted 5,000-7,000 delegates from over a hundred countries. Australia is hosting the 34th IGC on behalf of the Oceania region in Brisbane, 2-10 August 2012 (www.34igc.org). This large and prestigious event, which is also being referred to as AUSTRALIA 2012, offers the geoscience community of our region a wonderful opportunity for international networking and collaboration, and enhanced recognition of our geology and accomplishments. AUSTRALIA 2012 will be an important forum for interdisciplinary interactions in all fields of geoscientific endeavour. The success of AUSTRALIA 2012 depends on attracting as many delegates as possible. The intention is to ensure the event is relevant to all people interested in the geosciences and related fields, including those who may not normally consider participating in IGCs.
