The International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) is an international collaboration of organizations which operate or support very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). Paris Observatory hosts two IVS components for routine VLBI analysis (Analysis Center) and data storage (Data Center), both located at the department SYRTE (CNRS/UMR8630). Its activities consist in analyzing VLBI twice-weekly sessions, providing thus regular Earth orientation data, X-band radiocenter positions of observed extragalactic objects, as well as terrestrial and celestial reference frames. We discuss here the importance of such a service within the international effort coordinating the global Earth observing system, serving geosciences as well as astronomy, civilian and military applications.
