Lund University and FIG Commission 2 Mentorship Programme Network
FIG Commission 2 has started Mentorship Programme Network together with
Lund University. Initiative to this mentorship network was created
during the the FIG-congress in Munich in October 2006. The aim is to
create a worldwide network for student mentorship programmes. The
programme has now started at Lund University (Sweden) for final year
students at the MSc engineering programme in Land Surveying and
Management. The student has got one professional land surveyor as
his/her personal mentor during the final year of studies and thesis
work. The mentorship programme is organised at Lund University, but
integrated in the activities of the Swedish Association of Chartered
Surveyors and the Swedish Society of Real Estate Economics. At the
second phase the Network is now interested to get other universities involved. The leading idea is to create a network of membership programmes, and provide the students with contacts to other students
abroad. They are likely to develop the network, e g, with a student
forum, personal blogs, wikipedia and other network links. The mentors
could also join the network, but we believe that the students might be
the first enthusiasts to develop the network. Read more about the programme in the
invitation letter.
As a first tentative approach, the Lund University International Student
Forum for surveying students and mentorship programs is launched at
http://fig-forum.student.lth.se/index.php. The international mentorship
network will be initiated gradually.
The Mentorship Programme Network will be part of FIG Commission 2
activities in 2007-2010.
