FIG Working Week is an exciting week-long conference that brings the international community of surveying and spatial professionals together to share innovative science with policymakers and stakeholders. Scientists, policy- and decision-makers, students, and stakeholders are invited to join the discussions on issues affecting the international surveying and spatial community today and in the future.
FIG has been organising Working Weeks since 1878. The first conference was held in Paris from 18-20 July.br /> This year’s Working Week is the 79th. The FIG Working Week 2017 in Helsinki is hosted by International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), the Finnish Association of Geodetic and Land Surveyors (MIL) and the Finnish Association of Surveyors (MAKLI), and will be supported by the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS).
The FIG General Assembly, at its meeting held at the 2014 Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, elected MIL and MAKLI to be the local hosts for the FIG Working Week 2017. The Finnish Associations are experienced professionals and great hosts as they have had the leadership of FIG and have successfully organized several memorable international events, FIG Commission workshops and the FIG Congress in 1990.
Working Weeks combine meetings of FIG’s General Assembly and
administrative bodies with a technical conference over three days with
8–10 parallel sessions, organised by FIG Council and the ten FIG
Commissions together with the host member association (in this instance,
MIL and MAKLI). Working Weeks offer the opportunity for commissions to
implement their work plans and for FIG to network at a local, regional
and international level.
Recent Working Weeks have been held in Rome, Italy (2012), Abuja,
Nigeria (2013), Sofia, Bulgaria (2015). And Christchurch, New Zealand
(2016). The FIG Working Week 2017 will be hosted in Helsinki, Finland at
the Messukeskus Expo and Convention Centre.
