The GITTA Association
On November 16th, 2006 the association for promoting GITTA (in German "Föderverein") was founded at the Institute of Geography of the University of Bern. This new GITTA Association is open to every active member or sponsor interested in using, updating and/or promoting GITTA materials. The statutes, membership fee, contact person etc. can be found temporarily on this page. In 2007 the GITTA website will be redesigned and include the GITTA Association as an important part of the whole project.
The bylaws of the GITTA Association can be downloaded in German or in English. Consider that the English version is just a translation. Legal standard remains the German original. The minutes of the founders meeting are available in German only.
Steering committee
The steering committee consists of 5 persons elected by the general assembly for two years. The actual committee consists of:
- Weibel, Robert (UZH, President)
- Collet, Claude (IGUF, Treasurer / Vice-President)
- Bleisch, Susanne (FHNW, Secretary General)
- Niederhuber, Monika (ETHZ, Project Coordinator)
- Werner, Marion (ETHZ, Special Projects)

Furthermore there are memberships for individuals and for collectives like institutions or companies. The fees are:
