History of the FIG Foundation
The FIG Education Foundation was established in 1996 as a public
company under the Corporation Laws of Australia. In 2000 the
administration of the FIG Education Foundation was transferred to the
FIG permanent office in Copenhagen. The General Assembly of FIG adopted
the new Statutes for the FIG Foundation at its meeting in Seoul 11 May
2001. At the same time the original FIG Education Foundation was closed
and the new FIG Foundation officially opened under the FIG umbrella.
The purpose of the Foundation is the funding of educational and
capacity building projects and scholarships. For the over 100 years of its existence FIG has experienced a
shortage of funds to finance education projects, even though education is
vital to the surveying profession and is relevant to all the
organisational members of FIG.
