The FIG Working Week has been cancelled. This is not a decision we have taken lightly and there are two overriding concerns that have caused us to make this decision at this time.
First, the Dutch Government announced new measurements to control the COVID-19 outbreak. In the Netherlands all gatherings are prohibited until 1 June.
Second, our primary concern is always the wellbeing of you, and we would not take on the responsibility, during these times, to bring so many surveyors from all over the world together.
Jointly hosted by FAO and FIG
The session will be held as a series of presentations and floor discussion focusing on how land administration and land management (based on the VGGT) can help address land degradation, soil erosion and desertification through showcasing existing available practices and case studies. By presenting some experiences, there will be the opportunity to show case and then to explore how university research and continuous professional development courses can strengthen the role of surveyors for enhanced application of the VGGT.
