About
General Information about Interridge
InterRidge granted observer status at the ISA
InterRidge has been granted observer status at the ISA, allowing InterRidge to be present at public meetings of the Assembly and by invitation, to make oral statements on issues of concern, although it will not be able to participate in decision-making. This increases our links with the ISA and will strengthen our ability to engage with developing countries, which remains one of InterRidge’s main challenges.
Reform of InterRidge in 2014
A reform plan for the new structure of the InterRidge membership fees and privileges of each member countries was adopted at the 2014 InterRidge Steering Committee in Beijing, China on 27-28 September 2014.

InterRidge StComm meeting, St Petersburg, 2-3 June
At this meeting we will be finalising InterRidge's Third Decadal Plan and deciding on the next InterRidge office for 2013-15. If you have any items you wish to be discussed, please contact the iR Office (coordinator@interridge.org).
Third Decadal Plan - draft now open for comments
In 2011 InterRidge initiated a discussion online and at a meeting attached to AGU, to identify the major science questions it was felt InterRidge should address in the next decade. A draft of the Third Decadal Plan 2014-23 is now available for consultation by the InterRidge community.
