International Relations
Desde sus inicios la Sociedad Geográfica de Madrid mantuvo vivas y constantes las relaciones con los geógrafos europeos y americanos. Su nacimiento estuvo ligado a la asistencia de uno de sus fundadores, Francisco Coello de Portugal al Congreso Geográfico de Paris (1875). Más tarde la Real Sociedad Geográfica fue una de las siete representaciones nacionales que, en 1922, en Bruselas, constituyeron la Unión Geográfica Internacional, que hoy reune a 94 países miembros. España, a propuesta de la RSG, se adhirió oficialmente a la UGI ese mismo año y su Junta Directiva adquirió por Real Decreto su carácter de Comité Nacional del organismo internacional, asistiendo normalmente a sus Congresos y Asambleas y aportando en cada momento sus aportaciones científicas. Actualmente, la RSG y la Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles comparten mayoritariamente el hoy Comité Español de la UGI y favorecen la colaboración hispana en las tareas científicas de la Unión.

The Society's earliest statutes are dated February 2nd, 1876,
when the Sociedad Geográfica de Madrid was created. Later on, in 1901,
when its name was changed to Real Sociedad Geográfica, other new statutes
were adopted which continue nowadays after being modified and adapted to present
academic and scientific structures.
