Astronomy - “Getting inspired”
To get our minds thinking freely, we are starting the
meeting with an inspiring presentation from the field of
astronomy. When you look out into space (often using the
most high tech equipment) you’re actually look out into
the past. We use this information to make predictions
about the future.
The cosmological model and navigating by using the stars
as your surveying markers. You might be surprised how
the field of astronomy relates to the world of
surveying!

Speed dating + Coffee break
Let’s get to know the members of the network!
Is this your first time at a Young Surveyors Network
meeting? Well then, don’t be shy, and just get to know
each other. This is a great opportunity to make new
friends from different backgrounds. Are you a veteran of
the Young Surveyors world? Well then, no excuses, share
your experience from previous events with the younger
ones. Exercising your social skills is important for
your professional and personal life, so we propose this
exercise where you ‘speed date’ each other.
Here are some example questions to help you break the
ice, but remember… be original :)
- Find three things you have in common.
- What do you hope to gain from the meeting?
- Knowing what you know now, would you choose the
profession if you were to choose again?
- Where do you see yourself in the future?
- Do you have a surveyor role model?
- What has been the most fun/embarrassing moment
in your career so far?
- What do you know about Bulgaria?

Keynotes - Past, Present and the Future!
|
|
Basic surveyance has occurred since humans build the
first large structures, back to 2500 BC. From those
years surveying is the science of determining the
three-dimensional position of points and its accuracy.
The basic principles of surveying have changed little
over the years, but the tools used by surveyors evolved.
Photogrammetry, space technology and the internet of
things rapidly changed the speed of mapping, the amount
of information as well as the related products and
services. Moreover, the use, the meaning, the scope and
and the role of the maps change rapidly between the
years. “Timing” is introduced as the crucial factor in
our science, as we are living in an era of constant and
rapid change. Today, GIS tools, UAVs, with cameras,
point clouds, 3D city models and satellite and radar
data are the key components of our profession. The rapid
improvement in information technology affects a lot the
character of our job and determines our opportunities.
Surveyors should be prepared to cooperate with other
professions, adapt quickly to new technologies and deal
efficiently with large amount of information!
How do you see our profession in 10 years from now?

the speed dating session, lets hear an update about what
is going on in our network as well as our sister
networks.
- the broader integration and collaboration of
Young Surveyors in different organisations;
- the focus on the role of Young Surveyors on an
international scale, and
- brainstorm on YS Network tasks and
responsibilities.

Session #2 - Challenges of the Modern World and
International possibilities in Geodesy, Spatial Planning
and Land Management.
|
|
Geodesy is the science of the the earth. It has been
used throughout the ages to explain, measure and
represent changes in our world, telling exactly where we
can be found on our planet and within the universe that
surrounds us. It contributed to this new dawn of mankind
where we find ourself today, by bringing civilization
together through exploration and by positioning devices
around our planet to easily communicate with each other.
Today, Geodesy is not only about positioning and
mapping. In this era of information we live in, we have
to use our skills as surveyors, to deal with complex
situations like urban and regional planning or creating
smart environments and infrastructures. Nowadays, all of
this can only be achieved by cooperation. We learn from
mistakes and from each other by building networks that
can connect surveyors around the world, giving new
opportunities and meaning to the work of the modern
surveyor. This sessions starts with an international
perspective on the profession and ends with a technical
note.

Lets inspire each other through presentations from
fellow young surveyors. The stage is open to anyone who
has something to present - may it be a project you’ve
been working on, a thought you want to share or a
question you want to ask. Discussion is actively
encouraged. Let’s debate ‘The Challenges of the Modern
world’!
