Adoption of the CLGE Dublin Declaration

‘Land surveying and geodesy form the unseen infrastructure of Europe’s future. Without them, neither digital innovation nor sustainable progress can endure.’

This often overlooked truth is a key takeaway from the ‘CLGE Dublin Declaration‘ which was signed and released at the culmination of the X CLGE Conference of the European Surveyor – ‘Geodesy Matters – Professional Development and Development of the Professional’ and CLGE General Assembly, hosted by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland in Dublin (IE) from 16 to 18 October 2025.

The Dublin Declaration deals with aspects of the endangered ‘global geodesy supply chain’, in particular strengthening land and geodetic survey education, and awareness throughout Europe, and also highlights how geodesy is the foundation for a resilient Europe. It underscores our commitment to Professional Development and the need for greater advocacy, collaboration, community and continuous development.

The Dublin Declaration is an important and genuine step forward in the right direction. There remains much work to do address the issues raised in the Declaration and we can only achieve that by working together right across the profession and around the globe.

Let’s aspire to the release of the Declaration being a turning point, where the vital role of our profession is not only recognised, but actively supported in shaping Europe’s path ahead.
