your abstract now!
We invite you to submit an abstract by
12 January.
The theme for FIG e-Working Week 2021 will be the same as for the
Working Week 2020 – however with an addition to reflect on
working with and adapting to new realities; in this case the impact of
COVID-19 on our profession:
Smart Surveyors for Land and Water Management
Challenges in a New Reality
Besides the subthemes Smart Surveyors,
Integrated Land and Water Management and FIG, surveyors and the SDG’s,
we want to focus on the surveyors and the challenges they have in an
unstable, uncertain and unpredictable world and with what technology,
methods and procedures they face these new developments. How do
surveyors adapt to these unexpected circumstances and what have we
learned so far from these challenges?
The theme 'Smart Surveyor for Land and Water Management - challenges
in a new reality’ is relevant both for the international community
as well as for our local organisers from the Netherlands. Mapping and
surveying are basic activities to support the management of land and
water. Having almost 200 years of experience with mapping and more than
100 years of land consolidation, the Netherlands brings inspiring
knowledge and experience to the FIG e-Working Week 2021. Apart from
being known for its tulips, wind mills and clogs, with its almost 42,000
Square km the Netherlands is one of the most surveyed area in the world.
Every square meter is mapped, registered and documented and it has to
be, being densely populated, with more than 55% of the total country
below sea level and being the second exporter of agricultural goods in
the world.
We look forward to receiving your abstract!
