The theme of the Working Week “Integrating Generations” fits well to the over all theme of the current Council “Building the Capacity”. The technical programme will include all our ten commissions with special focus on land and tenure issues. According to the new conference structure the FIG Working Week 2008 will be a major conference organised together with a partner organisation. This time we are happy to have UN-Habitat as the partner. Together with UN-Habitat FIG will organise a Seminar on Slum Upgrading and the Importance of Financial Mechanisms. This is an issue placed very high at the global agenda in support of the Millennium Development Goals. This seminar will be a fully integrated part of the technical programme. We are happy to continue the long-term co-operation between FIG and the United Nations especially in Stockholm as Sweden has a long tradition in organising and supporting such international events.
