Achievements
	The COVID pandemic accelerated the adoption of online and blended learning in surveying education. This publication is based on the lessons from our response to the pandemic and builds on the contribution of FIG Publication 46 Enhancing Surveying Education through e-Learning. Read FIG Publication No. 81 Enhancing Surveying Education through Blended Learning.		“E-learning is a learning process created by interaction with digitally delivered content, network-based services and tutoring support." The report aims to bring together the experiences and viewpoints within FIG on the role of e-learning in surveying education. Read FIG Publication No. 46

	It became clear that disaster risk reduction is a knowledge domain of its own. Disaster risk reduction has its own particular issues, own approaches and own technologies. To include disaster risk reduction in the curriculum of the surveyor and land professional means allocating enough quality time and think carefully about the set-up and content of the program and the teaching approaches. More information		The FIG Foundation raises funds to secure a sustainable future for surveyors. It provides significant grants to support life-long learning and career paths of surveyors, and has been instrumental in bringing young surveyors into the FIG Community. Commission 2 has been represented in the Board in the current term by the Commission 2 chair David Mitchell. More information
