EFG - EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF GEOLOGISTS and the Title of EURGEOL.

The European Federation of Geologists (EFG) was established in 1981 and includes today 21 national association members predominantly from Europe.

EurGeol Title is awarded by the EFG after a thorough study of each application. This professional title means that the person who holds it has achieved suitable academic training, and a level of professional experience, skill and competence to perform tasks within their professional practice. It also means that the geologist undertakes continuing education and training, demonstrating commitment to stay up to date and informed within the sphere of their professional work.

The title of European Geologist is a professional title created by the European Federation of Geologists and which recognises the ability to deliver a high quality of services within the practice of geology.

The training and experience underlying the title are being harmonised. This will mean that the title will be recognisable in all European countries and so act as a passport to professional practice in Europe, thereby encouraging free movement of professionals. There are mutual recognition agreements in place such that the EurGeol title is recognised by the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) and the Canadian Council of Professional Geologists (CCPG).

On a practical level, European Geologists are recognised by the mineral reporting authorities in Australia, Canada, South Africa and London as professionals accredited to sign reports on mineral reserves and resources within their area of expertise and in the valuation of mining companies quoted on the Stock Exchanges.
