The 2015 FIG Working Week was held this past week (May
16-21) in Sofia, Bulgaria. Over 1000
attendees from over 80 countries participated. The NSPS Delegation included
Robert Foster (ACSM Past President and FIG Honorary President), Steven Nystrom
(NewStream Companies), Daniel Roman (NGS), Kenneth Swindaman (LSAW), Neil
Weston (NGS), John Hohol (NSPS Head of Delegation, President- FIG Foundation
and FIG Honorary Member).
Some items directly related to NSPS included the
establishment of a committee to nominate a date to establish and celebrate a
Global Surveyor’s Day. This is from the
joint proposal of NSPS and CLGE (European Council of Geodetic Surveyors) made
by John Hohol at the XXV FIG Congress last year in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The selection will be made at the 2016 FIG
Working Week in Christchurch, New Zealand.
In addition, Steven Nystrom was appointed as Chair of FIG
Commission 9 (Valuation and Management of Real Estate).
Hanoi, Vietnam was selected as the venue for the 2019 FIG
Working Week. Other venues already
selected include the 2017 FIG Working Week in Helsinki, Finland and the XXVI
FIG Congress in 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey.
A complete report with all the activities including the 10
FIG Commissions during the working week will follow.
