FIG Working Bodies

FIG Working Bodies are specialized groups within the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) that focus on different areas of surveying and geospatial professional practice. Each body develops knowledge, guidelines, and standards related to its focus area—such as land management, engineering surveying, or spatial data infrastructure—and shares best practices worldwide. They facilitate collaboration, innovation, and education among professionals, ensuring the surveying field advances effectively and ethically. Essentially, FIG Working Bodies serve as expert committees that promote expertise, knowledge exchange, and standards development in specific aspects of geospatial science and land surveying.
