FIG Young Surveyors Network (est. 2006)
Purpose:
To improve the number of young professionals participating within the FIG.
To help young professionals in the beginning of their careers with contacts.
To increase co-operation between the commissions and the students and young professionals network.
The target groups of this working group are Master- and PhD Students, young professionals and commission delegates.
In a time where many of the member organizations are facing difficulties to attract young people to the profession of surveying this working group have been created. The goal is to create connections between “older” and “younger” surveyors.

FIG Foundation
The purpose of the Foundation is the funding of educational andcapacity building projects and scholarships. The objectives are: To give grants and scholarships to projects, for instance to develop curricula for surveying
education, training and capacity building, especially in developing countries;
To encourage research into all disciplines of surveying and to disseminate the results of that research;
To promote high standards of education and training for surveyors and to facilitate continuing professional development;
To educate people in the disciplines of surveying, particularly in developing countries and countries in transition;
To promote the use of distance learning, networking , eLearning and knowledge management if surveying education and continuing professional development;

XXV FIG Congress
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (cont’d)
“The pressure on the land and resources - and therefore the
environment - will increase. Sustainable growth therefore will
determine strategies of politics, but also for surveyors. Spatial
information is vital because it shapes policy-making, surveyors are
responsible for translating raw data into pieces of information useful
for policy-makers. Spatial information needs to be reliable and
reusable, there lies a challenge for the surveyor of the future,
according to the Prime Minister.”

Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM):
The concept of the STDM is to provide a standard for representing ‘people – land’ relationships independent of the level of formality, legality and technical accuracy. This is a pro-poor land administration tool.
Social Tenure Relationships:
- Use rights
- Occupancy
- Tenancy
- Rents, leases
