The Task Force on Institutional and Organisational Development, set up at the 2007 FIG General Assembly, has been progressing its work. A key element to allow further progress is for the Task Force to understand areas where particular support and assistance is required, and whether this is the same throughout the world or varies by region. To allow it to gather information in a structured manner, the Task Force has created an on-line survey which will take about 20 minutes to complete. As many surveyors, and related professionals, as possible are encouraged to complete the questionnaire. It can be found at www.questionpro.com/akira/takesurvey?id=878684.
Questionnaires completed by 31 May 2008 will be particularly helpful, as this will allow the Task Force to advance its work at the Working Week in Stockholm in June. Read more about the Task Force at its web site: http://www.fig.net/tf/organisation/

Seminar on State and Public Land Management will be organised in Verona, Italy, September 9-10, 2008, just before the FIG Commission 7 Annual Meeting. The seminar is organised by FIG Commission 7 and the Consiglio Nazionale Geometri (CNG), in co-operation with FIG Commission 9 and FAO Land Tenure and Management Unit. The major goal of the seminar is to share experience and discuss policy options and practices in relation to state and public sector land management, including between land managers, policy advisers and decision makers and their professional advisers, and the civil society organisations working in these areas. The seminar will help raise global awareness of problems associated with state/public land and its management, improve knowledge of good practices in this area, and encourage these to be increasingly addressed in new development initiatives. Invitation as a .pdf-file. Registration closes 7 July 2008.

The FIG Annual Review June 2006 - December 2007 has now been published. Hard copies of the annual review have been mailed to all members.

The Surveying Education Database (SEDB) on Professional Education is in full operation. Universities and institutions are able with their user-ID and password to make changes directly to the database. Any academic department offering graduate and post-graduate courses in any surveying discipline can place a standard entry on the SEDB.

The Surveying Education Database is a major benefit for being an  Academic Member of FIG. Academic Members of FIG can add a picture and additional information to their standard entries.
