  1. Situation in the Netherlands: Times are changing‘ Dutch delegates Mr.Ir. Jos Anneveld, (MSc) Ing. Wim van Pijkeren, (BSc) Berlin 24 april 2004

  2. With thanks to: Jos Anneveld: Not present here (Barcelona) Mark Wijngaarde: Vice-president EU Relations Berlin 24 april 2004

  3. What‘s the change ? In general, more and more, from Geodesy to: Geo-information and Geo-information-applications or Geomatics or Spatial information services Berlin 24 april 2004

  4. February 2004: 125 years National Committee for Geodesy Berlin 24 april 2004

  5. In this overview: • Markets • Societies • Education In the context: • Were we not strong enough • Or can you expect the same ? Berlin 24 april 2004

  6. Markets (1) • Recession (last year) • Few activities in building industry • Large infrastructure projects come to an end • Digital mapping (different scales) nearly ready • Cadastre, public works, municipalities less to spend • Geodetic companies in difficult circumstances • Geo-ICT companies seem to be less affected • Efficiency is approving • Especially less (lower educated) technicians needed Berlin 24 april 2004

  7. Markets (2) • Program: Space for Geo-information • 20 mio Euro • Mainly research (proposals) • Mainly geo-information applications • Institutes, public services, private companies • With a slow start Berlin 24 april 2004

  8. Societies • October 2003: merge of nearly all geodetic and geo-information societies into: Geo-Informatie Nederland (GIN) • Working parties: • Land surveying and geodesy • Earth observation • Cartography and geo-visualisation • Geo-information and land-policy • Geo-ICT • Research and education Berlin 24 april 2004

  9. Nieuws-Nieuwsbrief http://www.vnbg.nl

  10. Education (1) • In the past few years: the end of specific geodetic education on technician and “MSc” level (Delft) Just started: • Investigation to the need of geo-information-workers in the coming years, on initiative of the VNBG. Results in next summer. Berlin 24 april 2004

  11. Education (2) Now: Technician level: • Start up of Infra-technics on (possibly) 30 locations BSc-level • Geodesy and geo-informatics (Hogeschool Utrecht) • Hydrography (Maritime Inst. Willem Barentsz Terschelling) Berlin 24 april 2004

  12. Education (3) MSc-level • Earth Observation(Technical University of Delft, Fac. Aerospace Engineering) • Geo-information Engineering & Land Management (Technical University of Delft, Fac. Technology, Policy and Management) • Geo-information Science (Wageningen University) • Geo-informatics (University Twente / ITC) • Geographical information management and applications (University Utrecht/ ITC/ TU Delft/ Wageningen University) Berlin 24 april 2004

  13. Finally: The way the Dutch delegates report in the Dutch geodetical / geo-information magazine about the CLGE activities, especially about the General Assembly „News from the CLGE“ Berlin 24 april 2004
