Founded in 1988, the International Meteor Organization (IMO) is an international scientific non-profit association with members all over the world. The IMO was created in response to an ever growing need for international cooperation of amateur work. As such, the main objectives of the IMO are to encourage, support and coordinate meteor observing, to improve the quality of amateur observations, to make global analyses of observations received world-wide, to develop contacts between amateurs and professionals, and to disseminate the observations and results obtained to other amateurs and to the professional community.
