FIG President Stig Enemark attended the International Congress on
Geomatics and Surveying Engineering in Valencia, Spain, 18 – 21 February
2008 as a key note speaker.
The focus of the conference was to emphasise before the public
authorities and the society the role of the surveying profession at national
and international level. A special focus was given to developing the
cadastre in Spain and enhancing the role of the surveying profession within
the cadastral area, as is the case in most countries throughout the world.
The conference was organized by the Spanish Association of Surveyors in
cooperation with the Technical University of Valencia.

Jesús S.
Miranda Hita, Director of the Spanish Cadastre; Prof. Ian Williamson,
University of Melbourne; and Prof. Stig Enemark, President of FIG.
