The 8th FIG Regional Conference titled "Surveying
towards Sustainable Development" was held in Montevideo, Uruguay
26-29 November 2012 with more than 250 participants from all over
Latin America and all other continents, altogether 33 countries. The
successful Regional Conference in Uruguay proved that Latin America
is a very interesting area both for the Surveying society and for
hosting a conference. The local host of the Regional Conference was Asociación de Agrimensores del Uruguay (AAU) who organised the conference in cooperation with FIG. The conference was co-sponsored by UN-HABITAT, OAS, and the World Bank. The main focus both in the plenary sessions and the technical sessions were on the Latin American region and during the conference there were many professional discussion within the different areas of surveying between participants from the region and from all over the world. The local organisers had taken care that all Regional and International participants had a spectacular experience in Uruguay among other things with samba dancers and drummers following the participants through the streets of Montevideo and real Uruguayan tango. FIG Foundation sponsored five Young
Surveyors giving them the opportunity to participate in the Regional
Conference. |
