interpreted in the broadest sense including land surveyors, geospatial
experts, valuers, quantity surveyors, hydrography surveyors etc. – are
all represented. FIG brings these different surveying professions and
professionals together to enhance the cooperation and understanding of
each other’s fields.
The FIG Working Week 2023 gives passionate professionals the
opportunity to:
- Learn and share globally – with participation from around 80-90
countries
- Network across silos, from other countries, sectors and
professional roles – with sessions and representation from the broad
range of surveyors and geospatial experts
- Make impacts on careers, organizations and communities

FIG Working Week is an excellent way to get
