Commission 2 at the FIG Working Week 2016 in Christchurch, New Zealand
2-6 May
FIG Commission 2 on professional education is challenged by
the need to address course themes from a broad spectrum. With
major attention on teaching Building Information Management
(BIM) on the one hand and training in ‘Holistic Thinking’ on the
other hand. For the FIG Working Week in Helsinki a special
session could be dedicated only on BIM. Distance and online
education continue to be crucial particular for continuous
professional development.
The Academic Members present at the FIG Academic Members
Forum decided to form a working group with the aim of exploring
the VGGT from a surveying (and land professional) perspective by
assessing practical examples of VGGT implementation in different
countries. The outcome of this exploratory research could
eventually result in a position paper. The working group
intends to present the first outcome of their exploratory study
during the FIG Working Week in Helsinki. This initiative is
supported by FAO.

Participate in the giCASES survey on
collaboration in GIS&T education!
The European giCASES project is investigating how higher
education institutions are working together with private
companies and public administrations in the design and delivery
of GIS&T education in Europe. Therefore, giCASES would like to
invite individuals and organizations from the higher education
sector but also from the public and private sector to
participate in a survey on collaboration between higher
education institutions and other stakeholders in the design and
delivery of GIS&T education.
This short survey is a unique opportunity for teachers, program
coordinators but also GI professionals in the private or public
sector to share their experiences with and views on
collaboration in GIS&T education. In addition, the survey also
aims to collect good practices in collaboration between higher
education institutions and other stakeholders in the design and
delivery of GIS&T education.
The survey can be accessed
here.
giCASES is a Knowledge Alliance project under the Erasmus+
programme of the European Commission. The project aims to enable
and strengthen innovation in GIS&T education and practice, and
facilitate the collaborative creation, management and sharing of
knowledge between different stakeholders. The giCASES project
will develop and test new, innovative and multidisciplinary
approaches to teaching, learning and knowledge management in the
area of GIS&T.
The survey is the first step in the project, and will help
the project partners to better understand current ways of
collaboration in GIS&T education and the needs and expectations
of different stakeholders regarding this collaboration. Should
you have any comments or questions regarding this survey, please
feel free to contact the
survey
organizers.
Thank you in advance for your participation! We appreciate
your time and valuable input.
