Esta brillante iniciativa salt\u00f3 al a\u00f1o 1968, a la ciudad de Quito, donde se llev\u00f3 a cabo el Primer Simposio Continental de Geograf\u00eda y Cartograf\u00eda. La idea tom\u00f3 fuerza en la IX Asamblea General del IPGH realizada en Washington, en 1969, donde se dieron inicio a varias gestiones por parte del IPGH, a la par con la Secci\u00f3n Nacional del Ecuador, en cuanto a la definici\u00f3n de actividades y requisitos que deb\u00edan cumplirse para la creaci\u00f3n tan anunciado centro de investigaciones geogr\u00e1ficas de estatura continental. Luego de 27 a\u00f1os de haber presentado varias propuestas al IPGH para la creaci\u00f3n de un centro de estudios e investigaciones geogr\u00e1ficas a nivel panamericano, llegamos a la X Reuni\u00f3n de Consulta sobre Geograf\u00eda, celebrada en Panam\u00e1 los meses de abril y mayo de 1973, donde se acord\u00f3, entre el gobierno del Ecuador y el IPGH, en calidad de organismo especializado de la Organizaci\u00f3n de Estados Americanos, OEA, la creaci\u00f3n del Centro Panamericano de Estudios e Investigaciones Geogr\u00e1ficas, CEPEIGE, con sede permanente en Quito \u2013
