News 6th Joint International Symposium on Deformation Monitoring (JISDM) in Karlsruhe, Germany,7 – 9 April, 2025 The organising commissions of FIG, IAG and ISPRS as well as the local organising committee of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) invite to the 6th Joint International Symposium on Deformation Monitoring (JISDM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, 7 – 9 April, 2025. JISDM is dedicated to the latest developments in the field of deformation measurements and deformation analysis and brings together experts from the wide range of geodetic fields like photogrammetry, remote sensing, engineering geodesy and higher geodesy as well as from neighbouring fields at the interface of deformation monitoring. Contributions may deal with the broad spectrum of deformation measurement and analysis. Hence, papers should present scientific aspects or applications regarding the deformation monitoring of natural objects and man-made structures. The individual presentations may be focused on pure theory, on practical aspects or on both. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following subject areas:

FIG Working Week 2020 has been cancelledMarch 2020 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s FIG Working Week in Amsterdam due 10-14 May. 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. Report to the General AssemblyMarch 2020 FIG Commission 6 has prepared a written report to the General assembly. The full agenda is available The General Assembly has been cancelled and postponed to 2021. FIG Working Week 2020 and FIG Commission 6February 2020 The theme Smart Surveyors for Land and Water Management is both relevant in a world where drinking water is a scarce resource, waste water needs to be recycled rather than seen as waste, where the sea needs to be better mapped and managed, where land resources need to be protected against sea-level rise, and where land-based fresh water habitats are threatened. Commission 6 is planning the following sessions:
Procedures for checking or testing surveying instrumentsCommission 6 is making a survey of open-access documents available on the internet with procedures for checking or testing instruments and ancillary equipment, currently used by surveying engineers. The information is being gathered here.

Total number of participants was 76, out of which 36 participants were from foreign countries and 40 participants from Slovak Republic. Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of Engineering Surveying was aimed at a discussion about actual problems of engineering surveying, about conclusion of knowledge and results, which were acquired by the using of new modern technologies. The individual sessions of proceedings were following:
Twenty-nine papers were presented during the conference. Papers were
top up with the various contributions during discussion by many
participants. The conference languages were English, Slovak and Czech.
Discussion was ensured with the simultaneous translation. A proceeding
from this conference was issued in English language in Edition of SUT
Bratislava. There was also published a CD ROM where you can find the
complete proceeding and also some more information about the Department
of Surveying, which organised this conference. Content of the CD ROM and
so the complete Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of
Engineering Surveying you can find on Program of the conference was completed by an exhibition of measuring and computer techniques and software products developed for engineering surveying activities, monitoring of building structures and automated measuring systems. Main motive of the exhibition was emphasized by the participation of the laser terrestrial scanners (LTS) from Geotech Company Bratislava with the cooperation of Gefos Company Prague and Riegl Horn Company Austria. LTS was possible to see for the first time in Slovakia. LTS Cyrax (Leica) and LMS-Z360 (Riegl) belong to the best one in the world. Organizing Committee prepared two daylong excursions:
Participants of the excursion to the FCE SUT Bratislava were welcomed by prof. Dušan Petráš, PhD. – Dean of the Faculty, who described a historical development of FCE SUT Bratislava, its nowadays structure and actual problems. During the visiting of the departments, which ensure education of students in Geodesy and Cartography, the participants were familiar with a structure of the student programs, research and expertise activity of the each department. The aim of the excursion to the Gabčíkovo HEPS was to present, especially to the foreign participants, a complex of the hydro-technique structures with the emphasis to the engineering-geodetic works realized in the past and also during present days. The participants’ interest was aimed at the automated measured systems realizing monitoring of the selected structures of the Gabčíkovo HEPS. One part of the excursion was also the presentation of activities of the Department of Surveying of FCE SUT Bratislava on the Gabčíkovo HEPS. The participants of this excursion were allowed to look over some students’ works, which present the results from every year practical exercises (Engineering Surveying Campus) of the 5th class students in Gabčíkovo HEPS. Chairmen of the individual sessions defined conclusions and recommendations of the international conference INGEO 2002:
