The 3rd International Gravity Field Service General Assembly (IGFS2014) was held in Shanghai, June 30th - July 6th, 2014, at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was devoted to methods for observing, estimating and interpreting the Earth gravity field as well as its applications. The Assembly is organized by SHAO, the International Gravity Field Service (IGFS) and the Commission 2 of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). IGFS is an official IAG Service, which coordinates and harmonizes the activities of other "Level 1" gravity related Services, namely the Bureau Gravimetrique International (BGI), the International Geoid Service (IGeS), The International Center for Earth Tides (ICET), the International Center for Global Earth Models (ICGEM) and the International Digital Elevation Model Service (IDEMS).

     The IGFS2014 successfully provided a forum for space geodesy and gravimetry and presented recent results and applications as well as future satellite gravimetry missions. Over 130 participants attended the IGFS2014 with about 80 oral talks and 30 posters. More information can be found at http://202.127.29.4/meetings/igfs2014
