Hungarian Society of Surveying Mapping and Remote Sensing (MFTTT) (Member of FIG and CLGE) organised an all-day Conference on Global Surveyors’ Day 21st March 2023 in on-line form.
The Conference was supported by the National Cultural Fund of HUNGARY and the Department of Surveying and Geodesy of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The Patron of the Conference: Dr. István NAGY, Minister of Agriculture of HUNGARY.Chair of Programme Committee: Gyula IVÁN, Vice Secretary General of MFTTT.
"The role and challenges of surveying, mapping, geoinformatics and remote sensing in the fourth industrial revolution".
The fourth industrial revolution is the fusion of existing technologies. However, this fusion is not only technical, but also has enormous social, economic and environmental implications, mainly due to the digitalisation of systems, which is driving companies to develop entirely new business models (e.g. Facebook, cryptocurrencies, etc.). It is also leading to the emergence of interdisciplinary solutions whose consequences are still to be assessed (e.g. artificial intelligence).
Our profession cannot escape their impact. We need to find solutions and methods, both technical, developmental and educational, to respond to our new role and to the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution.
Presentations were organised into 5 technical sessions:
The Conference was highly successful. Permanently approximately 200 participants attended to the sessions, during the whole time. It was an international conference, since two speakers (UN FAO Europe and Central Asia Regional Office and PhD. researcher from Budapest University of Technology and Economics) presented in English.
Thank you for all speakers and participant to attend to this Conference.

It is the hope that this day is being celebrated around the world. It can be celebrated in many different ways, and it is up to the national surveyors to find their best way to celebrate the day.
FIG wishes all the best for all these events and activities, hoping that this will help emphasise the many contributions by surveyors and the surveying profession in all aspects of life.
If you are celebrating this day or have organised activities for the promotion of the work of the surveyors in your country or region, we encourage you to submit and share your Global Surveyors Day activities at surveyorsday.com
