Mayer, Michael; Dutell, Jerome; Przybilla, Monika

Abstract (englisch):

The professional association ‘German Association of Surveying – Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management (DVW)’ has the main objective to promote and to elevate the diverse and complex field of surveying as well as related sciences in general.

In order to gather representative and meaningful insights into the effects of the first wave (March–July 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic, WG1 carried out an extensive online survey (approx. 1.500 participants, 25 questions) on the surveying-related education system in Germany. This education system is divided into (i) dual education and (ii) higher education. The dual education system combines apprenticeships in a company and vocational education at a vocational school, while higher education is carried out at universities. Both career pathways as well as the individual professional development ‘legal traineeship for geospatial authoritative positions’ were taken into account in the survey.
