Jubilee Seminar: 25 years of Motorised Levelling
Geodesy & Surveying in the Future The Importance of Heights March 15-17, 1999G?le, Sweden
Who should attend?
The technical evolution goes more and more to automated Robotized Real Time surveying techniques using different kind of instrumentations. The geodesists, surveyors, teachers, students and others dealing with surveying have to face many problems in their work. Different solutions are accessible to do this work but to achieve it in the best we need much more knowledge and developments in this field.
This seminar will give a very deep information about the possibilities and limitations existing today and a look in the future. It will be of a great help for every one when dealing with these questions.
Paper submission
The workshop will consist of a number of special invited guest lecturers as Prof. K-P Schwarz, president of IAG, Prof. J. Kakkuri, Prof. H. Kahmen, Prof. H. Ingensand, Prof. W. Augath, Prof. E. Grafarend but there will also be room for a number of papers to be presented.
