The kind invitation of HUNAGI by the organisers are very much appreciated. Joint actions towards lobbying and articulate a stronger voice of the users of spatial data in geomatics is a logical option for HUNAGI and MFTVE, the Hungarian Society of Enterpreneurs in Surveying and Mapping.
If not yet a member, MFTVE could serve as Hungarian representative also in the European organisation of the licensed surveyors CLGE.
