CALL FOR PAPERS
The Call for papers for FIG Working Week 2016 is now
closed.
Thank you for your submission. Succesful applicants
will be notified by the end of January.
The focus of the FIG Working Week 2016 will be "Recovery
from disaster". Post-earthquake Christchurch is an
ideal venue for an international surveying conference with this
theme. It is being held at a time when considerable re-building
and renewal is underway throughout the city and the areas of
Canterbury affected by the 2010-2011 earthquakes sequence. Many
inhabitants throughout the world face various kinds of
disasters, apart from earthquakes as in Christchurch, such as
flooding, storm events, tsunamis, drought, the after effects of
conflict etc. that are a world-wide challenge, especially taking
the effects of climate change into consideration. Disasters,
natural or otherwise, directly impact surveyors and spatial
professionals and their work on the land, under the seas, in the
air and in space.
FIG Working Week 2016 is the main event for all ten FIG
technical commissions. Therefore proposals for papers are
