The BGI contributes within IAG, and its components GGOS to several Working Groups and projects aimed at improving:
- the global knowledge and accuracy of the Earth gravity
- the definition and realization of gravity standards and networks
- the development and evaluation of new gravity sensors (quantum gravimetry)
