The SGIR is led by a Steering Committee which is elected every 3 years. The main activities of the SGIR range from organising major conferences, summer schools and publishing books and journals and maintaining a website and mailing list.
The SGIR offers the whole Turin Pan-European Conference paper archive online. The Pan-European conference is held every 3 years and the working papers are shared online for easier access to conference participants.
