The FIG Working Week has been cancelled. This means that all the pre- and post-events have been cancelled too. This is not a decision we have taken lightly and there are two overriding concerns that have caused us to make this decision at this time.
First, the Dutch Government announced new measurements to control the COVID-19 outbreak. In the Netherlands all gatherings are prohibited until 1 June.
Second, our primary concern is always the wellbeing of you, and we would not take on the responsibility, during these times, to bring so many surveyors from all over the world together.
If you have signed up for one (or more) side events the organisers will get back to you as soon as possible.
The pre-events will take place at the VU - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The VU is located nearby the RAI. You can take the metro, bus or walk. Withing 30 minutes you can be from one location to the other.

FIG2020 Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration |
|
| Title | Scaling Up – Fit For Purpose Land Administration |
| Date | Saturday 9 May 2020 |
| Organisers | Kadaster International & ITC University Twente |
| Location/room | Aurora |
| Description | Since the joint FIG/World Bank publication (FIG
Publication No. 60), 6 years have passed. Whilst the Fit-For
Purpose Land Administration approach is embraced and applied by
an increasing number of countries, stakeholders and academia,
there is also criticism, questions and obstacles that need to be
addressed when discussing scaled-up or whole-of-country
opportunities and approaches. The 2030 Agenda with its
Sustainable Development Goals calls for tenure security for all,
which can most efficiently be reached by applying
Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration and with its 3, frameworks
legal, spatial and institutional. This pre-event is a continuation of the special session held at the FIG-Working Week 2019 in Hanoi. It aims to fully explore the pros and cons of FFP LA, based on experience gathered through practical implementations. The pre-event is sponsored by the School of Land Administration (a joint venture between Kadaster International and ITC Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation. |

Plastic Mapathon & Plastic Survey |
|
| Title | Plastic Mapathon - hackaton focusing on finding innovative ways to map plastic (Saturday 9 May 2020) & Plastic Survey (Sunday 10 May 2020) |
| Date | Saturday 9 May and Sunday 10 May 2020 |
| Organisers | FIG Working Group 4.3 - Mapping the Plastic and FIG Young Surveyors Network |
| Location/room | Aurora |
| Description |
This plastics survey (all day event) aims to:
|
| Goal/focus | To investigate the extent of existing information on plastic pollution of waterways in the Netherlands/Europe through formal survey datasets held by governments and academia. To develop techniques for collecting this information formally as part of future contract specifications for marine/river surveys or through dedicated plastic surveys and informally through citizen science/crowd sourcing techniques and how to apply these formal and informal techniques to ‘hot spots’ locally, within the EU and throughout the world, particularly third world countries with a lack of first world infrastructure. |
| Fee | € 70,00 |
| Max.part. | There is a limited number of participants of 40 people |

Surveying and BIM Classroom |
|
| Title | Surveying and BIM Classroom |
| Date | Saturday 9 May |
| Organisers | FIG Commission 10 |
| Location/room | Aurora |
| Description | Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way how surveyors work, think, collaborate and earn money. Using and sharing multidimensional digital representations of buildings are the driving forces for the digitalization of our work. This affects many tasks surveyors and GIS professionals perform, e. g. cost estimation, GIS analysis, engineering surveying, construction work, land management and facilities management. |

| Date | Thursday 14 May 2020 |
| Organisers | FIG Commision 8, Radboud Univeriteit & Nuffic |
| Location/room | Rotterdam |
| Description | An exclusive journey on integrated
spatial planning and development, starting at the historical
Fort Vechten and finishing in the vibrant port city of
Rotterdam. During the journey participants will be able to
experience the Dutch urbanised delta and its historical and
contemporary assignments in spatial planning including the
process of land readjustment. The programme combines visits to
historical structures with contemporary technology (e.g. GIS and
sensor technology for monitoring water levels) and high style
architecture. It is a unique opportunity where professionals and
scientists will be sharing inside stories of their role in land
and water management. The tour will take one full day and will be organized on Thursday the 14th of May |
| Goal/focus | The FIG Working Week 2020 in Amsterdam
provides a chance to impress an international professional
audience with Dutch planning and engineering practice. The aim
is to inspire and expand the national and international network,
and to further enhance collaboration between professionals and
institutions in the field of surveying. The tour will be organised as a post-event as part of the FIG Working Week 2020 in Amsterdam, under the supervision of FIG commission 8. Visitors can prolong their stay in Amsterdam or choose to pursue lodging in Rotterdam on their own expenses. Possibly the tour will be open for other professionals including students and scientists in the field of surveying. |
