Commission 3 + 8 workshop, 13-14 December in Greece

13-14 December 2022, Athens, Greece

Please, join us an take part in the joint Workshop on the theme:
"Spatial Information and planning in a world facing multiple crises -  a surveyors' perspective"

PARTICIPANTS AND FOCUS

The workshop will be the 1st edition of the "International Scientific Conferences of European Surveyors", organized by EGoS - European Group of Surveyors.
FIG Commission 3 (spatial information management) and 8 (spatial planning and development) together with EGOS cordially invite you to attend the conference.

The organization by this important European Association of Surveyors will make it possible to address both professional and academic issues of great interest and relevant themes in view of contemporary developments.
Two days packed with workshops and meetings will certainly be a great opportunity to meet with your peers in the field of land management and planning to discuss the latest themes and developments.

Two days packed with workshops and meetings will certainly be a great opportunity to meet with your peers in the field of land management and planning to discuss the latest themes and developments.

The theme of the workshop "Spatial information and planning in a world facing multiple crises - a surveyors' perspective" builds on the research carried out in previous years and illustrates new aspects of Voluntary Geographic Information and the role of geospatial information in the challenges we face, such as climate change, international conflicts, pandemic, and sustainable development. We therefore invite you to participate and share, in this moment of "multiple crises", how the management of spatial information contributes to further development, especially in relation to the ways in which the geographical and territorial data are collected, elaborate and distributed.

Today, climate change, extreme weather phenomena and the loss of biodiversity are risks and occupy the first three places on the list of threats to sectors of the global economy and to the well-being of populations. Also, we are still in the aftermath of the  Covid-19 pandemic and  facethe impact of the war in Ukraine (food security and scarcity of electricity, gas and oil).
All this has triggered a serious impact in all countries in Europe, leading inevitably to further economic, social and environmental challenges.
The urgent need to improve the habitat to better deal with multiple crises leads governments to support more strongly the interventions to protect the environment and the territory.
But what are the design models and the scientific contribution that academics and professional surveyors can offer to be decisive for overcoming these crises?

Location

Athens is the capital of Greece as well as the heart of ancient Greece, great civilization and powerful empire. The city is still dominated by the monuments of the fifth century BC, including the acropolis, a citadel on top of a hill where ancient buildings arise such as the Temple of Parthenon with its columns. The Museum of the Acropolis and the National Archaeological Museum retain sculptures, vases, jewels and other finds of ancient Greece.

the Acropolis of Athens can be considered the most representative of the Greek Acropolis. It is a fortress, leveled at the top, which rises 156 meters above sea level above the city of Athens. [1] The plateau is 140 m wide and almost 280 m long. It is also known as Cecropia in honor of the legendary snake-man Cecrops, the first Athenian king.
