August 2020
This year, unfortunately, we had to miss the
opportunity to meet each other at the FIG Working
Week in Amsterdam. Many commission 8 activities were
scheduled during the FIG Working Week, including a
fully booked tour about land and water management.
To bridge the time to the next Working Week, we will
reach out to you in various digital ways; by this
newsletter but also by organizing digital
activities.
