"Listening World Tour" - get to know UN-GGCE

20 February 2024, online meetings at 08:30 UTC and 16:00 UTC

Virtual meetings between FIG, IHO and ISO and the United Nations Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence - UN-GGCE

FIG invites interested within FIG to attend one of two online sessions to learn more about UN-GGCE.

One of the UN-GGCE roles is to support partners such as FIG, IHO and ISO to continue to deliver on their mission and objectives. In particular, joining land and sea, developing modern Geospatial Reference Systems, enhancing capacity and ensuring FAIR data.

The staff at the UN-GGCE would like to meet with representatives from FIG, IHO and ISO, listen and better understand how UN-GGCE can assist each organisation.

Therefore, they invite all interested to attend an online meeting to discuss.

FIG encourages interested to attend one of the two sessions that will be offered on 20 February 2024. The sessions will be identical, however taking different time zones into consideration.
