The International Council of Onomastic Sciences entertains a new Working Group on Toponymy with the task to promote research on toponymy with a holistic approach, i.e. from the perspectives of all sciences engaged and relevant in onomastics.
In detail, the Working Group has the following tasks:
- (1) Propose and organize sessions on place names in the framework of relevant conferences and congresses;
- (2) Organize symposia on toponymy in cooperation with local host institutions;
- (3) Develop, support and cooperate in toponymic research and book projects;
- (4) Cultivate international cooperation with relevant global organizations like the International Cartographic Association (ICA) and the International Geographical Union (IGU) represented by the Joint ICA/IGU Commission on Toponymy, as well as the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN).
The Working Group has a registered membership, a chair and a vice-chair. Its members are to be members of ICOS or to gradually assume ICOS membership. The founding chair is Peter Jordan (Austria). The first business meeting during the 28th ICOS Congress in Helsinki/Helsingfors will regularly elect chair and vice-chair.
