FIG Young Surveyors Workshop. Session 1: Surveying the future: Mapping the bitcoins
Commission: Young Surveyors
Chair: Ms. Eva-Maria Unger, Chair, FIG Young Surveyors, Austria
Rapporteur: Ms. Paula Dijkstra, FIG Young Surveyors, Netherlands

Is it possible to publish a land transaction completely transparent, secure, legal, open and reliable using bitcoins?! In this session we apply the principles of the innovative and gamechanging concept of bitcoins and the blockchain. You never heard of it before? But you are curious to learn more. Then this is the session to be! Instead of using bitcoins as a tool for currency transactions, why not use it as tool to register the transaction of property. Google Maps for the cadastral mapping, LinkedIn for the Legal Register and Bitcoins for the transactions...? Imagine what happens if you see one square meter in a land transaction equal to a bitcoin. This sounds impossible to you - it doesn't to us! Within this session we want to challenge all surveyors, young and experienced,to verify how bitcoins and blockchains contribute to the challenges in land administration. We want to introduce the idea and the concept and then further want to get to know your experiences and input on how the realisation could look like.

• All Surveyors are welcome

Commission: Young Surveyors Network
Chair: Ms. Eva-Maria Unger, Chair, FIG Young Surveyors, Austria
Rapporteur: Ms. Paula Dijkstra, FIG Young Surveyors, Netherlands

Presenters: Soeren Leitz and Steffen Kagerah, Germany

The FIG Young Surveyors Network wants to contribute and actively do something for our dear friends and colleagues in Nepal. There was originally another session scheduled but this has been changed to Mapping response - contributions for Nepal We invite all of you to join us and use the already established Open Street Map (OSM) initiative to map for Nepal. OpenStreet- Map (OSM) volunteers from around the world rapidly digitize satellite imagery to provide maps and data to support humanitarian organizations deployed to the affected countries. There will be a short introduction on how to use OSM and then we will work together on a specific task defined by the OSM Tasking Manager.

• All Surveyors are welcome
• Important Note: Please bring your own Laptop!!!
• Instructions on how to use OSM

FIG Academic Members Forum. Session 1: Research to Support the Surveyor of Tomorrow
Chair: Ms. Liza Groenendijk, Chair, FIG Commission 2, Netherlands
The overall theme of FIG for the term 2015-2018 is: Ensuring the rapid response to change, ensuring the surveyor of tomorrow. This theme will guide the first session of the Academic Forum during the FIG Working Week in Sofia. The theme will be approached from an academic perspective, by focusing on how academic research can support the surveyor of tomorrow. Not so academic is the way we will organise the session, namely by using creative workshop techniques.

FIG Academic Members Forum. Session 2: Knowledge Management in FIG
Chair: Ms. Liza Groenendijk, Chair, FIG Commission 2, Netherlands
FIG offers several resources for acquiring and sharing knowledge in the professional and academic domain of surveying. The FIG website offers access to the publications and proceedings, the Surveyors Reference Library, the Education Database and the OICRF. All these resources can be seen as knowledge management tools and serve as a learning platform for FIG and the public in general. The aim of this Academic Forum is to review the different knowledge resources within FIG and to discuss FIG as a learning platform for the surveyor of tomorrow.
