The Geoid School in Budapest was the sixth in series organized by IAG. Prior to that the International Geoid Schools, started in Milan (Italy, 1994) and continued in Rio de Janeiro (Brasil, 1997), Milan (1999), Johor (Malaysia, 2000) and Thessaloniki (Greece, 2002).
The School was organized by the International Geoid Service (IGeS) and BUTE/HAS. The members of the Local Organizing Committee were: József Ádám (Chairman), Lóránt Földváry, Szabolcs Rózsa (Secretary) and Gyula Tóth.

As usual the IAG geoid school consists of five main lectures and each topic was delivered by prominent professor(s).  Lectures at the Budapest geoid school were arranged as follows;
i) Fernandó Sansó (A compendium of physical geodesy in view of geoid computation and related height questions),
ii) Riccardo Barzaghi (The Global Geopotential Models),
iii) Christian C. Tscherning (Geoid Determination by least-squares collocation using GRAVSOFT),
iv) Michael G. Sideris (Geoid Determination by FFT Techniques) and
v) Ilias N. Tziavos (The Terrain Effects in Geoid Estimation).
