Dr. Andreas Drees, FIG Vice President visited the 2nd Young
Surveyors Days in Trabson in Turkey May 16-19, 2003. About 350
participants attended the conference, among them 20-40 professors and
staff members from the seven universities in Turkey, which provide
education programmes for surveyors. The rest of participants were
students and young surveyors, among them the greatest number was from
the hosting Karadeniz Technical University in Trabzon. The Young
Surveyors Days was the second of its kind in Turkey. The first event
was arranged two years ago in Istanbul organized by the Istanbul
Technical University under the leadership of Prof. Ahmed Aksoy,
who is also the father of the Young Surveyors Days.
There is a strong historical tie between the Turkish and German
surveyors because so many Turkish students have studied surveying at
German universities in the past. At the 2nd conference there were
three professional presentations from German speakers and one from a
Turkish Professor, who replaced the slot that was opened after one of
the invited speakers had to cancel in the last moment. |
