85 delegates representing the National Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registry Agencies from 30 European countries met in Iceland for the 5th EuroGeographics General Assembly. The 3 day event was hosted by the National Land Survey and Land Registry of Iceland who are two of the 47 members of EuroGeographics – the European Association that represents the mapping, cadastral and land registry organisations.
At the heart of the discussions was the role these agencies are playing both nationally and at the European level to support the land & property market, implementation of government policies, creation of new value adding businesses in the private sector and opening up access to public sector information for individual citizens. In short, their role in supporting sustainable development.
