FIG Congress Papers, April 2010

In April 2010 XXIV FIG International Congress was held in Sydney.  Its theme was: Facing the Challenges - Building the Capacity.  The ICSM community made a significant contribution to this Congress and a selection of their papers (including PowerPoint and flash presentations) are available here.  These papers are seen as presenting an excellent ‘snap shot’ of the Australian and New Zealand spatial community in early 2010.

The full set of Congress Papers is available from the FIG website: http://www.fig.net/pub/fig2010/sess_prog_overview.htm
