About us
IAEG Peru is part of a global network dedicated to advancing engineering geology through innovation, sustainability, and ethical practice. With support from IAPG Peru, we empower Peruvian professionals and students to connect, grow, and lead.
Our mission
We bring together students, researchers, engineers and geoscientists who analyse how geology shapes infrastructure, mining, and protect the environment across Peru and beyond. Our work spans fieldwork, technical exchange, and public outreach.
As the Peruvian Group of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG), we align local practice with international standards while staying rooted in the specific challenges of Peru's terrain — from Andean slopes to coastal urban growth.
Our vision
To position IAEG Peru as an internationally connected platform that contributes to geotechnical knowledge, geohazard awareness, and professional excellence.
Strategic priorities
What guides us
We hold field and laboratory work to international standards, without losing sight of local ground conditions.
Students and early-career professionals learn directly alongside experienced practitioners in the field.
Sustainability and responsibility guide every project we support, from small studies to major infrastructure.
Guided by scientific excellence
Our national group is steered by elite engineers and geoscientists who form a dedicated board of leaders committed to geological fieldwork and academic integrity.
