A Historic Gathering For European Surveyors
On 9 November, Paris played host to the 9th Conference of the Liaison Committee of European Surveyors(CLGE).
For the first time in 15 years, this event took place in the French capital, bringing together representatives from nearly 30 nations.
A successful edition
The CLGE works to create a permanent forum for European surveyors, to promote the exchange of technical, scientific, educational and organisational know-how, and to provide assistance on request.
Each year, the CLGE organises a conference in a different European country, highlighting specific themes. Indeed, the 2023 edition was a resounding success, with 110 people attending in person at the Novotel Paris 17, and over 800 taking part online via the Zoom platform. The central theme of the conference, focusing on the role of the surveyor in disaster management, attracted a great deal of interest from participants.
During the conference, 27 speakers shared case studies, highlighting the essential contribution of surveyors against a backdrop of one disaster after another.
Topics such as safeguarding historic monuments, guiding firefighters through forest fires, and warning of tsunamis and earthquakes captivated the audience of surveyors and specialists from all over Europe.
The conference was accompanied by the CLGE General Assembly, attended by nearly 70 representatives from European nations. Once again, the AGM provided a platform for exchanging views on joint action by the profession across the continent.
