It was great to share our concept with the international mine surveying community and to receive so many thoughtful questions and ideas. Many thanks to the ISM and the organisers for an excellent congress, and to our partners RWTH Aachen University (AMT and MRE), Innomotics, Knauf, K+S Group and AMG Lithium GmbH for the strong collaboration.
We would also like to congratulate the PLING project coordinators: Prof. Jörg Benndorf has been re-elected Chair of ISM Commission 3 “Instruments, Mine Surveying Measurements, Mining Cartography”, and Jing Li will continue to serve as Secretary of the Commission.
