In early April, researchers from Te Kura Kairūri | School of Surveying (SoS) attended the Reference Frame in Practise (RFIP) seminar, International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) Working Week and Locate 25 in Brisbane, Australia.
The theme was Collaboration, Innovation and Resilience: Championing a Digital Generation.
Two of them are the editors of the Journal of Spatial Science board, a 100-year-old journal, taking such an occasion to host an editorial board meeting with other Editors from Australia, China, Hong Kong, United Kingdom and the United States.
It was a great opportunity to learn from, and share our research with, international colleagues in a city full of examples of the impact of surveying in modern environments (engineering surveying for underground rail projects, hydrography on the river, urban design in the new public areas and pedestrian bridges, control networks for large multi-story buildings, the list goes on…!).
