Opning of the Summer School under COVID_19 conditions.
FIG-President Rudolf Staiger was invited by our Italian member CNG
(Consiglio Nazionale dei Geometri e Geometri Laureati) to be part of the
official opening of the 11th Training Summer School in Italy which this
year took place 20-31 July 2020. The
Italian Training Summer Schools have a long tradition and are dedicated
to the conjuncture between surveying and architecture with a strong
focus on photogrammetry and laser scanning.
Despite all the challenges around COVID-19 our Italian colleagues
decided to held this workshop in real presence mode. The attendance was
as expected not so well as in the years before, but the chief organizer
and spiritual father of this event, Prof. Pietro Grimaldi, welcomed
young colleagues and students from Romania, Turkey, Bulgaria and Italy.
Italy was hit heavily by COVID-19, especially during the first months
of the outbreak of the pandemic. However, for the presidents of the
regional Colleges from Naples, Caserta, Bari and Matera it was very
important to support this event. They underlined the importance of
forming the next generation of surveyors.
Rudolf Staiger pointed out that on one hand the pandemic is dangerous
and should not be played down, but on the other hand having this summer
school in real mode is a positive sign towards the future of our
profession and our activities. The FIG-foundation was also supporting
this event.
