Representatives of State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) headed by the Director of the Directorate of Geodesy and Cartography Mr. Kristaq Qirko, participated in the International Symposium of GGHS 2024 “Gravity, Geoid, Systems of Heights 2024”, held on September 4-6, 2024, in Thessaloniki, Greece near the Center for Research Dissemination, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (KEDEA) .
In this conference topics on the latest geodetic methods and techniques on the calculation of Global Geopotential Models (GGM) and Modern Vertical Geodetic References were presented and discussed by various European and international authorities.
Important for the representatives of ASIG in this symposium was the presentation and discussion of the projects of the Modern Albanian Geodetic Reference Frame with the most well-known European and international experts in the field of high geodesy, who appreciated and supported the implementation of the networks of the Albanian Geodetic Reference Frame as well as its future objectives on the calculation of the Gravimetric Geoid, based on European and international standards.
Also in this symposium were participants and lecturers from the Department of Geodesy, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering (FIN), Polytechnic University of Tirana (UPT), who presented their topics in function of the common goal of creating a Modern Vertical Geodetic Reference in Albania.
