A selection of events organised, sponsored or co-sponsored by FIG, its
commissions and its member associations:

FIG organises international congresses, held every four years, and annual
working weeks, held in the intervening years. Congresses and Working Weeks are
hosted by FIG together with its local member association. The last congresses were held in Brighton
(UK) in 1998, in Washington, DC (USA) in 2002 and in Munich, Germany in 2006. The XXIV
FIG Congress will be held in Sydney, Australia 9-16 April 2010. Congresses attract several thousand participants from all over the world and
are the most important events in the FIG calendar. The technical programme,
which marks the culmination of the 10 commissions’ four-year programme of
work, is complemented by a major international exhibition.

 |
Working Weeks combine meetings of FIG’s administrative bodies with
technical seminars organised by the commissions and the host member associations
and as such provide the opportunity for commissions to develop their work
programmes and for FIG to network at a more regional level. The next working weeks
will be arranged in Stockholm, Sweden (14-19 June 2008),
Eilat, Israel (3-8 May 2009), in Marrakech, Morocco in April/May 2011, and
in Rome, Italy (May 2012).
In addition to their involvement with FIG congresses and working weeks,
commissions and their working groups organise or co-sponsor a wide range of
seminars and workshops, usually in collaboration with member associations or
other international professional bodies.
