Dear Friend and Colleague,
It is our privilege and honour to invite you to the FIG
Working Week 2015 to be held from 17 to 21 May 2015. The
Working Week is hosted by the International Federation of Surveyors,
FIG and the Chamber of Graduated Surveyors, Bulgaria as the local
host. 2015 FIG Working Week is locally supported by the University
of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, the Geodesy,
Cartography and Cadastre Agency, the Union of Surveyors and Land
Managers in Bulgaria (a member of FIG) and the Association of
Topographical Companies.
The overall theme of the Working Week is “From the Wisdom
of the Ages to the Challenges of the Modern World”. Bulgaria
is an ancient country with a rich story and heritage of the ages.
Bulgaria is located at strategic crossroads and its capital Sofia
has a very rich and ancient history. Sofia (Serdika was the ancient
name of the city, later Sredets and now Sofia – which means city of
God's wisdom) has been a cultural center since the time of the
Thracians, the Roman Empire, The East Roman Empire – Byzantium and
the Bulgarian kingdoms. Lessons of the history may help us strive to
make the world better, more comradely and more friendly, parallel
with development and advance of modern technology.
The carefully prepared Technical Programme will offer both
specially invited high profile presentations and papers that are
selected through the open call for papers procedure. The Call for
Papers is open for both peer review and non-peer review submissions.
FIG Working Week will gather international practitioners and
academics from all disciplines within the surveying, geospatial,
natural and built environment professions (land surveying, land
administration and management, land and real property appraisals,
spatial sciences, spatial planning and development, positioning and
measurement, engineering surveying, hydrography, environmental and
green building and cost, construction and project management). FIG
Working Week will furthermore reveal the new work plans for the new
FIG Council as well as all 10 FIG Commissions for the term
2015-2018.
We look forward to seeing you in Sofia
Yours Sincerely
