The European Group of Surveyors (EGoS) was established in 1989 to represent especially non-geodetic surveying professionals in Europe.
EGoS have 9 full members, 2 Associate members and 4 Observer members in surveying organisations representing approximately 260,000 individual surveyors in 15 countries.
The group meets bi-annually, normally over a two day period, and are active in workshops; to develop standards and mutual recognition of qualifications, to promote and develop Quality Assurance and best practice in surveying, To develop and promote training schemes for surveyors, and to collect and collate information on professional practice in relation to surveying and the associated fields.
Later on with the amendment of their statue EGoS represent also the geodetic surveying professionals in Europe.
