SIRGAS Working Group 1 (WG1) Meeting: Change of Network Coordinator

An important coordination meeting of SIRGAS Working Group 1 (WG1) was held on May 12th, where the changeover in Network Coordination was formalized. During the meeting, Alberto Luis Da Silva, the outgoing coordinator, presented a detailed technical report on the activities carried out during his tenure. From SIRGAS, we express our sincere gratitude for his dedication, commitment, and valuable contribution to strengthening our geodetic infrastructure. We wish him every success in his future endeavors. In her place, Claudia Cristina Cunha Santos da Silva, nominated by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), was introduced as the new coordinator. We warmly welcome Claudia, confident that her experience and leadership will be key to continuing to advance the objectives of WG1 and the development of regional geodetic networks. We extend special thanks to IBGE, represented by Maira Kronemberg, Brazil’s national delegate to SIRGAS, as well as to the entire Geodesy team at the Institute, for their ongoing support and commitment to the program.
