Jubilee Seminar: 25 years of Motorised Levelling

Geodesy & Surveying in the Future

The Importance of Heights

March 15-17, 1999

G?le, Sweden

 

Who should attend?

The technical evolution goes more and more to automated Robotized Real Time surveying techniques using different kind of instrumentations. The geodesists, surveyors, teachers, students and others dealing with surveying have to face many problems in their work. Different solutions are accessible to do this work but to achieve it in the best we need much more knowledge and developments in this field.

This seminar will give a very deep information about the possibilities and limitations existing today and a look in the future. It will be of a great help for every one when dealing with these questions.

Paper submission

The workshop will consist of a number of special invited guest lecturers as Prof. K-P Schwarz, president of IAG, Prof. J. Kakkuri, Prof. H. Kahmen, Prof. H. Ingensand, Prof. W. Augath, Prof. E. Grafarend but there will also be room for a number of papers to be presented.
