The Symposium was organized by the FIG Working Group 6.1 (Deformation Measurement), the IAG  Sub-Commissions 4.2 (Geodesy in Geospatial Mapping and Engineering) and the Joint Working Group 0.2.1 (New Technologies for Disaster Monitoring and Management). One aim of the symposium was to highlight contributions from different fields of geodesy and geomatics, such as engineering geodesy, spatial geodesy, photogrammetry and remote sensing. Highlights of the conference programme included discussion of scientific progress related to the monitoring of terrain, objects and structures, such as ground subsidence, landslides, glacier movements, bridges, tunnels or wind turbines.

The workshop on “Innovative Technologies for an Efficient Geospatial Management of Earth Resources” was organized by  FIG Commissions 5 (Positioning and Measurement) and 6 (Engineering Surveys) together with the Siberian State Academy Of Geodesy, the Technische Universität Berlin and the Irkutsk State Technical University. The rapid development of new innovative technologies forces the need for meetings all over the world for better exchange of knowledge regarding efficient usage. To achieve the millennium goals, transmission of knowledge concerning rapid technological changes in geodesy, photogrammetry, GIS, remote sensing, CORS and DGNNS augmentation systems also have to be central to modern educational programmes.

The second jointly held symposium on deformation measurements and analysis was held May 12 – 15, 2008 in Lisbon, Portugal. The symposium was a combined meeting of the FIG Commission 6, Working Group 6.1, Deformation Measurements and Analysis and the IAG Sub-commission 4.2, Applications of Geodesy in Engineering. The theme of the symposium “Measuring the Changes”, reflects the importance, and demand, for fully automated, continuous, and reliable deformation monitoring in the civil engineering, mining, and energy sectors.

The 11th FIG Symposium on Deformation Measurement was held in Santorini, Greece May 25-28, 2003. This symposium organised by FIG Commission 6 (surveying Engineering) working group on Deformation Measurement has the longest tradition in FIG as a Commission organised event on a certain topic. This time this symposium attracted more than 130 participants from 29 countries – major national groups represented were Polish, Italian and, of course, Greek. Participation of more than 15 delegates, among them students and scientists from less developed countries became possible through grants from the sponsors of the symposium.
