Kalvebod Brygge, Copenhagen
On 4 October 2013 FIG Office had the
pleasure to welcome nine representatives from the Finnish Association MAKLI,
a FIG member association. Head of delegation was MAKLI President Jari
Ahonen and FIG representative Martti Pietikäinen. The MAKLI
representatives came from various parts of Finland and they explained about
their various challenges in the different regions. Hereafter they were given
an introduction to FIG, hereunder the organisation, the commissions, the
young surveyors network and the activities that FIG is undertaking e.g. in
cooperation with various UN organisations hereunder e.g. UN-HABITAT GLTN and
FAO as well as the World Bank.
MAKLI also expressed their interest
in hosting the FIG Working Week 2017 together with MIL, the other member
association from Finland, due to the fact that in 2017 they celebrate the
100th year independence.
It was a pleasure for FIG to welcome
MAKLI in the Copenhagen office. Although most of the work of the office is
solely administrative it is very inspiring to hear about the conditions of
surveyors and their challenges from various pars of the world.
