EAGE organizes the following activities for its members:
- Events (conferences, exhibitions, workshops)
- Publications (journals, books)
- Educational Programs (short courses, webinars, lectures)
- Student Programs
The Brazilian Geophysical Society was founded in 1978. It is currently adding 4,184 members spread across universities, research centers, service industry and exploitation of mineral and energy resources. The board of SBGf, which manages the Company has an office based in Rio de Janeiro, in addition to five regional secretaries covering the Brazilian territory.
The Society held its first congress in 1989 and since then, its events have been held in odd years. The development of geophysics in Brazil and, consequently, the creation of SBGf was the result of a very close connection with the oil and gas industry.
