The Geoscience Council of Namibia has pleasure in inviting
you to participate in a Fund-Raising Seminar.
Background
on the Geoscience Council of Namibia
The idea for the Council was
initiated by the Geological Society of Namibia around 1992. The Society’s
Executive Committee members Roy Miller, Roger Swart, Volker Petzel, Ger
Kegge, Gabi Schneider, Ken Hart and Brian Hoal led the extensive consultations with
the Society members and other geoscientists. Finally after several years
of lobbying and facilitation by MME the Geoscience
Professions Act (Act No. 3 of 2012) was
promulgated in 2012 and makes provision for the establishment of the Geoscience
Council of Namibia. The first Geoscience Council was inaugurated on 10 August
2016 in Windhoek. The Council’s objectives include the promotion of geoscience
professions in Namibia by providing a self-regulatory juristic body, and
registration for geoscientists with a recognised level of professional
competence and adherence to a code of professional conduct.
