Today’s professional world of Geomatics calls for excellently educated young professionals with various skills. Besides sufficient knowledge about the technical contributions to solving current tasks the importance of soft skills grows. The Geomatics engineer no longer is understood as merely a technician receiving orders. In order to deepen the awareness of students for global issues, the shaping of a new profile of the typical young Geomatics engineer is necessary. The young Geomatics engineer will have to be educated for professional careers in leading positions. It will be his task to initiate networks of international experts and to lead interdisciplinary teams. Therefore, a combination of technical and social skills is needed. Hence, all Geomatics groups should make an input in order to create the desired education. One important group besides e.g. the German Association of Surveying (DVW) is the students themselves. All Geomatics students studying Geomatics at Universities in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland are represented by the Association of Geomatics Students ARGEOS (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Geodäsiestudierenden).
