FIG General Assembly 2021
The General Assembly 2021 will be different - in several ways
Just like the Working Week it will not be possible to meet in person
for the General Assembly 2021. The General Assembly 2021 will therefore
be held virtually. Please reserve the dates 20 and 25 June 2021. The
General Assembly will as always be held in conjunction with the FIG
e-Working Week that takes place 21-24 June 2021.
So be prepared for a week in the company of FIG...
The overall programme:
Before the General Assembly
The General Assembly Agenda will be sent out by email to all members
around 1 May 2021 and will be published on the FIG web site. The agenda
will include a possibility to comment and send questions to each agenda
item. We will encourage all members to submit your comments. Since the
General Assembly agenda from 2020 was postponed to 2021 all agenda items
from 2020 will also be included.
Update reports will be attached to the agenda, and the responsible
for the reports will be encouraged to also submit a short video
presentation.
In 2021 there will be three different elections: Two Vice Presidents,
Commission Chairs Elects and Venue 2025. Member association in good
standing will be able to vote. So please make sure that you have paid
your memberhip subscription.
To organise the voting each member association will be asked to
inform FIG in advance of the official delegate who will be the direct
contact person for voting. To ensure that there will be no technical
problems, votings will not take place directly during the sessions but
will start after the first General Assembly on 20 June 2021. There will
be around 24-36 hours per voting round enabling all to vote. FIG Office
will send out more information directly to all member associations
closer to the General Assembly, including the actions that we ask from
each member.
During the General Assembly
Each General Assembly day will consist of two sessions of each two
hours, in total four sessions. The sessions will will not include
reportings, but will instead be interactive debates including questions
and comments from the delegates. We encourage you to submit your
questions and comments in advance, but there will also be time for
dialog during the sessions. Hopefully they will be lively and
informative.
The elections will take place in the days between the two General
Assembly days.

It is possible to register only for the General Assembly, but we will
encourage you to also participate in the Working Week conference days
giving you the opportunity to meet with your international colleagues in
a different but hopefully also inspiring way than normal. The Working
Week will offer interactive sessions and also an exhibition and break
activities in which you can connect with other participants, meet with
the sponsors and exhibitors, get inspired, and get feel the FIG
Community vibes. Registration fee will only be 100 EUR (early bird) and
we hope that you will invite all your national members. Students and
Young Surveyors will be able to attend bot the Young Surveyors
conference on 15-16 May 2021 and will also get access to the FIG Working

universities will support the participation of your students in these
events.
