Dear colleague,
It is our great pleasure and honor to invite you and your colleagues to
attend the FIG Working Week in Christchurch, New Zealand from 2-6 May
2016. FIG Working Week is an exciting week-long conference that brings
the international community of surveying professionals together.
The overall theme is *Recovery from Disaster*. New Zealand is a
(relatively) geologically active country with a history of seismic
events and post-earthquake Christchurch is an ideal location from which
to consider this theme. Many inhabitants throughout the world face
various kinds of disasters, apart from earthquakes as in Christchurch,
such as flooding, storm events, tsunamis, drought, the after effects of
conflict etc. that are a world-wide challenge, especially taking the
effects of climate change into consideration. Disasters, natural or
otherwise, directly impact surveyors and spatial professionals and their
work on the land, under the seas, in the air and in space.
The three consecutive conference days, 3-5 May will give you an
interesting mix of:
**
*HIGHLEVEL PLENARY SESSIONS***
Each day invited international recognized experts will deal with topics
within the overall theme of the Working Week “Recovery from Disaster”.
They will address key challenges of our time within the surveying
profession.
