I am Kwabena Obeng Asiama, chair of the FIG Young Surveyors
Network. Having lived on three continents, Africa, North
America, and Europe, I am always excited to jump into an
international environment. Hence I was very happy to take part
in the 4th Young Surveyors European Meeting in Amsterdam in
2016. Since then, I have been involved in the activities of the
network, meeting and working with young surveyors all over.
One of the strengths of our network has been the opportunity
to provide an environment for young surveyors from different
cultures, with different academic backgrounds and professional
experiences to discuss the issues facing our planet, to plan for
a resilient future, and contribute energy to achieving these
goals. That is the essence of our network – the energy,
initiative, drive, and open-mindedness of our generation to
contribute towards our Common Future.
It’s a great honour to be chair of our network, and I look
forward to working with you towards the future of our network
and our profession. The Future is Ours!
Dr. Kwabena Obeng Asiama, Chair, FIG Young
Surveyors Network

Hello,
I would like to begin with saying that I believe in the
power of FIG Young Surveyors Network. I have been an active
member since 2014 and it has been a great opportunity to
collaborate with Young Surveyors from all around the world.
Being a part of Volunteering for the Future with colleagues is a
chance for us to have new points of view, explore different
cultures and share experiences.
The world is changing, and our profession is adapting and
improving to the change every day. As Young Surveyors, our
intention is to stay up to date, develop the network by
collaborating, understand the importance of sustainability and
raise more awareness on that.
I am excited for my new role as Vice Chair of FIG YSN and to
be working with our Chair Kwabena for the next two years (along
with my role representing FIG Young Surveyors European Network
at Council of European Geodetic Surveyors (CLGE)). I look
forward to the future of FIG Young Surveyors Network. We will
work to stay connected within the regions, keep the current
projects, and start valuable initiatives.
Ferah Pırlanta Köksal, Vice Chair, FIG Young
Surveyors Network
