The overall theme of the Congress is “Engaging
the Challenges – Enhancing the Relevance”, within the
context of the FIG Work Plan for 2011 - 2014 that has a vision
to extend the use and usefulness of the Profession for the
betterment of society, environment and economy towards a world
that we want.
The technical programme will include a broad professional and
scientific programme: during 4 consecutive days, offering up to
10 parallel sessions and workshops. This will allow more than
700 presentations in the entire broadness of the surveying
profession. The carefully prepared Technical Programme will
offer both specially invited high profile presentations and
papers that are selected through the open call for papers
procedure.
FIG Congress 2014 is the main event for all ten FIG technical
commissions. Therefore proposals for papers are requested in all
topics of interest of the following commissions:

2. Professional Education - FIG
commission 2
3. Spatial Information Management -
FIG commission 3
4. Hydrography - FIG commission 4
5. Positioning and Measurement - FIG
commission 5
6. Engineering Surveys - FIG
commission 6
7. Cadastre and Land Management -
FIG commission 7
8. Spatial Planning and Development
- FIG commission 8
9. Valuation and the Management of Real Estate
- FIG commission 9
10. Construction Economics and Management
