Geosiberia 2011was organized from the 26th to 29th of April in
Novosibirsk, Russia by the Siberian State Academy of Geodesy. This event
which was already the 7th edition was organized under the lead of Prof. Alexander Karpik and Prof.
Vladimir Seredovich. FIG was one of
the co-sponsors and was represented by Vice President Rudolf Staiger.
Geosiberia is an exhibition for instrumentation and services and at the
same time a national and international congress. The national congress
started already on the April 21. Six different topics were treated over 19
technical sessions with more than 600 presentations.
The international part of the Congress started with an opening ceremony
followed by the first plenary session, where Vice President Staiger had the
opportunity to give a presentation on “10 years of Terrestrial Laser
Scanning”.
The FIG participantion and contribution to Geosiberia was strong this
year. Prof. Volker Schwieger (Vice Chair of Commission 5) was representing
FIG Commission 5 with his presentation “Quality models and quality
propagation in construction processes” and the Prof. Gethin Roberts,
Chair of FIG Commission 6, discussed “Ever advancing modern surveying
technologies; the role of professional institutions and professional
development” in his presentation.
In addition to more than 60 presentations several round tables and
workshops on different topics were held. Vice President Staiger had the
chance to assist to a first meeting of the “Siberian and Ural Surveyor
Union”.
The importance of Geosiberia is increasing both on a national and
international level. It was very well organized and a big success with more
than 60 exhibitors and more than 200 international participants.
