Exploring ICESat-2 Data: Applications in Elevation Mapping, Water Height, and Beyond - Saturday 5 April

Mastering ADAC: Integrating Industry-Specific Software for Optimal Outcomes

Unlocking Spatial Data: Human-Centred Design for Digital Twin Success

Reference Frames in Practice (RFIP)

The main focus is on reference frames in general with a specific focus on UN initiatives, global and regional frames as well selected national case studies.

The technical seminar is aimed at surveyors, spatial professionals, students and operational geodesists who are interested in learning more about practical aspects of reference frames from some of the world’s leading geodesists and geodetic surveyors.

How to Build a Professional Practice Profitably

OGC approach of increasing interoperability with geospatial information

ArcGIS Parcel Fabric for Modern Cadastral Systems: by Esri

With increasing uses of parcel data, accuracy and completeness are critical. In this workshop attendees will learn about the Parcel Fabric data model and how to extend it for their organization's data. The parcel fabric supports an authoritative system of record for land management, with each parcel tied to a legal document that allows historical lineage to be easily viewed and changes to be tracked. The workshop will cover several key components of the parcel fabric including: easy data migration, extensibility, parcel-based measurements (COGO), land transaction/survey record management, built-in quality control and configurable workflows.

Climate Masterclass

This Masterclass showcases the depth and breadth of climate's link with the work surveyors do, with a practical, engagement-focused approach. Join us for a diverse series of short presentations which showcase various aspects of climate and surveying, followed by interactive discussion where we map out what areas are and aren't being worked on in the space.

TS03C: Crucial Role of Governments to achieve SDGs
Commission: FIG Task Force SDG
Chair: Ganesh Prasad Bhatta
Rapporteur: Marisa Balas

Join us for a session dedicated to the role of governmental bodies to discuss their pivotal role in achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Governments have a crucial role with the implementation and raising awareness of the SDGs. We will discuss about the SDG’s that are fundamental to the core tasks of the government to increase tenure security and women’s access to land: SDG 1 and SDG 5. The data to show progress on the indicators related tenure security (1.4.2) and gender equality (5.a.1 and 5.a.2) is lacking globally. At the same time progress is happening but not (enough) reflected in the reporting. What can we do to make sure that more data is available and progress can be shown? Engage with experts, share experiences, and gain practical tools to make a significant impact. Together, let's pave the way to a sustainable and more equitable future!

The theme of the FIG Working Week and Locate 25 conference is ‘championing a digital generation’. This session will explore the relationships between traditional land surveying and mapping and geospatial / GIS roles and how Director-General’s establish effective strategies, policies and operations within their jurisdictions to tackle national priorities. How are these activities organised across different FIG member countries? How does government, industry and academia work together to support and attract the next generation to our profession?
This year’s DG Forum will feature an important case study followed by a panel session comprising agency heads from across the FIG membership to share their experience, learnings and challenges.

###TS06C: The Nexus Between SDG
Commission: FIG Task Force SDGs
Chair: Rosario Casanova
Rapporteur: Ronald Ssengendo

By integrating the SDGs into academic curricula, we can equip future professionals with the tools, knowledge, and mindset needed to transform their communities and the world. But this goes beyond just teaching—it’s about inspiring action, fostering innovation, and cultivating a generation of changemakers who see themselves as pivotal players in achieving the SDGs. How can the SDGs be integrated into academic curricula to ensure that future professionals contribute to the sustainable development of their territories, while being conscious of their role in achieving the SDGs? Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow, and embedding sustainability into academic programs is essential for creating a workforce.

This year's Academic Form has the privilege of the presence of the University of Southern Queensland (USQ). USQ is the only remaining teaching university in Queensland for Land Surveying. The programme topics are about the Global Challenges in Academia and how they are affecting Queensland, Australia. Talking about Global Challenges, the following topics could be a good starting point for discussion:
- Artificial Intelligence in Education (proper usage or misuse);
- Decreasing number of students (and academicians) in the Geospatial programmes; and
- Well-being of students and academics after Covid and Social Media influences.
Associate Professor Glenn Campbell from USQ and the Chair of FIG Commission 2 Dr. Dimo Todorovski from the Netherlands will be the main speakers in this interactive Academic Forum session.

TS08I: New Methods and Techniques to Improve Measurement Accuracy & Understanding of Relative Sea Level Rise and its Consequences
Chair: Gordon Johnston
Rapporteur: Maria Grazia Scorza

Accurately measuring relative sea level rise is essential for assessing climate change impacts on coastal resilience, infrastructure, and ecosystems. This special technical session brings together experts to explore cutting-edge advancements in hydrography, geodesy, and remote sensing, aimed at improving measurement precision and data reliability. Featuring insights from leading researchers and practitioners, the session will bridge the gap between scientific research and real-world applications to strengthen coastal adaptation strategies globally. Jointly organized by Commission 4 (Hydrography) and the Climate Compass Task Force (CCTF), the session will include thought-provoking presentations and an engaging panel discussion.
