29 May 17: Dr. Daniel Steudler appointed as honorary member in FIG.
At the General Assembly in May 2017 our founding member, Dr. Daniel Steudler has been appointed as honorary member to the International Federation of Surveyors (www.fig.net). Since more than 20 years Daniel contributes in various working group of commission 7 to the advancements of the federation. He elaborated a vision for a future cadastre, together with our former president Juerg Kaufmann. The report "Cadastre 2014" was published in 1998 and later translated in 25 languages. He edited since then various publications and reports for the FIG, inter alia a status report on Cadastre 2014 which was first presented at the FIG Congress 2014 in Kuala Lumpur and published as FIG report 61. The ideas presented in "Cadastre 2014" and in the report on "Spatially Enabled Society" are the conceptual basis and therefore an essential resource for the work of the SLM foundation.
We congratulate Daniel on his appointment as an honorary member and are proud to have him in our foundation.
