Joint IHO/FIG Stakeholders of Capacity Building Conference
The first Stakeholders’ Seminars for IHO Capacity Building (CB) and FIG/IHO/ICA International Board on Standards of Competence for Hydrographic Surveyors and Nautical Cartographers (IBSC) is to take place from 5 to 7 March 2014 at the International Hydrographic Bureau (IHB) in Monaco. The seminars aim to encourage active participation and obtain feedback from the broad range of stakeholders.
The CB Stakeholders’ Seminar will focus on the revision of the CB Strategy and the lessons learned from previous CB activities. The IBSC Stakeholders’ Seminar will concentrate on the need for future revisions to the Standards of Competence for hydrographic surveyors and nautical cartographers.
The programmes for the seminars will be posted on the IHO website under Committees & WGs, at their respective pages (CBSC and IBSC). Revised versions of the programmes will be uploaded from time to time. Other supporting documents and presentations will be made available as they become available.
The CB Stakeholders’ Seminar is open to members of the IHO Capacity Building Sub-Committee, CB Coordinators from Regional Hydrographic Commissions, other representatives from IHO Member States, representatives from industry stakeholders/expert contributors, representatives from partner organisations and accredited Non-Governmental International Organizations (NGIOs). The former trainees/alumni and the instructors or programme managers of CB courses/projects will also be invited to attend the Seminar. More information on the event, registration and accommodation is available through the IHO website.
