The Société Royale Belge de Géographie (In English, the Royal Belgian Geographical Society) or SRBG, is a Belgian learned society which works to promote geographical sciences. HistoryThe Société was founded on 27 August 1876 as the Belgian Society of Geography a few days before the opening of the Brussels Geographic Conference to promote the exploration of various parts of the world.[1] It was initially involved with commercial investment in Belgian colonies.[2] In 1882 King Leopold II authorised the society to use the prefix "Royal".[3] Although it was later funded privately Adrien de Gerlache first unveiled his plans for the Belgian Antarctic Expedition to the society in 1894.[4] In 1900 the society had more than one thousand members including several explorers such as the American, Richard Mohun.[1][5] By the middle of the twentieth century the society had changed its objectives from exploration to scientific research and study.[1] The SRBG represents Belgium in the European Society of Geography and publishes the Belgian Journal of Geography, now branded as Belgeo ({{issn|2294-9135}}).[6] The SRBG awards a gold medal to noted geographers and explorers.[7] Presidents
