This Structure is as a bridge between AAG and our Profession AAG in every moment helps YS in the first steps of their careers Young Surveyors are part in every event or conference AAG organise As the President of AAG, I continue to make agreement with Privat and Public Sector, for practics of YS Structure . As you see, after 2010 AAG have a wide activity

For that, we are thinking to print a magazine called “The Surveyor” It will be dificulty but we will do as soon as we can.

The magazine will have free space for marketing and promotion

Every persons, organisations or any company can help us they can make their marketing and promotion in any pages of our magazine.

The Surveyor Magazine will print in two languages Albanian and English

The number of copies maybe will be 500 In last 5 years, the development of Albania is visible in almost all areas. We built and we are going to built more than 25 new rouds throughout Albania More than 100 cadastrale zone are going to systematic first registration of real estate properties Constructions of more than 500 small Hydropower The Railways are very old, which need for maintenance Albania the Country that during about 4 years built 2 big Tunnels

The first is The Tunnel that join Kosova and Albania. This Tunnel is about 6 km and now is finished . The second is the tunnel that join with Elbasan. This is about 3 km and is being built. Works in the project

Yacht Port Airport National Stadium The Corpus of Polytechnic University Parliamentary Campus A big number of projects about Enviroimental, Agriculture, Tourisem and Water Sistems It’s another important thing:

There are a lot of Privat University open in Albania for Architecture and Construction. The number of students is growing up every year

There is one Departament of Geodesy in The Faculty of Constructions Engineers (State University). The last years the number of students study for Geodesy is about 100

In our opinion maybe is the time that in Albania must open a Privat University for Geodesy or…… where outcome 3-4 branches

I suggest you to think about organiser of General Assambly in Albania
