About IGS
In the early 80s interest into handwriting and drawing research boomed. During the second international graphonomics conference in 1985, the decision was made to establish the International Graphonomics Society (IGS). This newly formed organization was aimed to facilitate the organization of conferences and workshops and the publication of their proceedings, to stimulate communication and research contacts by any other means, the transmission of information through a regular bulletin (BIGS), an electronic list (Scrib-L) and the maintenance of a graphonomics research directory.
The IGS has the status of a legal non-profit organization. It was established as a foundation (‘stichting’) under the law of the Netherlands on January 30th, 1987. Since 1985, the IGS has continually held a conference every other year (See Previous Conferences). Each conference has resulted in several issues or books representing the latest state of the art (See Publications).
The general aims of the International Graphonomics Society (IGS) are the advancement of research in the field of graphonomics. These aims include an exchange of views and expertise, joint-project research, and the dissemination and application of knowledge wherever appropriate.
