6th FIG Regional Conference

12th November, 2007 – 15th November, 2007

Dear Friends,

Please find attached first invitation and call for papers to the 6th FIG Regional Conference to be held in San José, Costa Rica, November 12-15, 2007.

The 6th FIG Regional Conference is organized by the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) and the Colegio Federado de Ingenieros y de Arquitectos de Costa Rica (CFIA)/ Colegio de Ingenieros Topógrafos de Costa Rica (CIT) which is the FIG member association in Costa Rica. As has been the case with the previous FIG regional conferences the conference in San José will be organized in co-operation with other international and regional organizations like the United Nations and its agencies as well as with international and regional spatial information societies. The conference is open to participants from all over the world however with the main focus on Latin America and the Caribbean. To help regional and local participation the conference will be held in English and Spanish. In all previous FIG regional conferences there have been participants from 30–50 countries representing all continents.

As the previous FIG Regional Conferences the focus of the conference is on the region, this time in the Latin American region. Coastal Areas and Land Administration – Building the Capacity has been selected to the theme of the 6th FIG Regional Conference. This theme that is very important for the Latin American region is divided in three sub-themes: coastal areas, land management and capacity building. One plenary session is dedicated to each of these main topics.

All ten FIG Commissions will attend and many of them will also have their administrative meetings. All national delegates should consider attending.
