International Mineralogical Association

The IMA held its first meeting in April 1958. Today, the IMA consists of 39 member societies representing all six populated continents. In addition to sponsoring and organizing conferences, the IMA facilitates interactions within the global mineralogical community through the activities of its commissions, committees and working groups. Its mandate ranges from streamlining the nomenclature and classification of minerals to the preservation of mineralogical heritage to outreach.
