On ISGG’s 30th Agenda: Legacy and Challenges

ABSTRACT

According to Robert E. Schofield, looking back to the golden age of Scientific Societies we discover that, from the middle of XVII to the XIX century, rather than academic institutions they were considered as the proper alma mater by scientists [1]. Over time, the general reform of the university has gradually reversed this state of things, with few exceptions. This paper proposes some brief reflections on being a Scientific Society (of Geometry and Graphics) nowadays (in its 30th year), including a glance at the present COVID-19 pandemic impact. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
