General facts

La proposition visant la formation d'une Fédération internationale de géomètres a été faite à Paris en 1878, lors du premier congrès de géomètres. Une deuxième tentative a été faite en 1910 au Congrès international de géomètres à Bruxelles qui groupa les représentants de nombreux pays. Après la guerre, des échanges de vues et de nouvelles réunions eurent lieu jusqu'à la création définitive de la Fédération en 1926, au cours du deuxième congrès des géomètres, tenu à Paris. Les derniers congrès internationaux ont eu lieu à Zurich en 1930 et à Londres (cinquième Congrès), en 1934. (HB 1936) The proposal for the organisation of an International Federation of Surveyors was brought forward at the First Congress of Surveyors, held in Paris in 1878. A second attempt was made in 1910 at the International Congress of Surveyors at Brussels, which was attended by representatives of many countries. After the war exchanges of views and further meetings took place, until in 1926 the Federation was organised on a permanent basis at the second Congress of Surveyors in Paris. The most recent international congresses were those held at Zurich in 1930 and in London (Fifth Congress) in 1934. (HB 1938)
