 I think I have a lot of experience in my profession, my professional life, but also my personal life. I'm a man who is optimistic, open-minded and looking forward. I decided to become a surveyor because I wanted to do something with mathematics, with physics, but not as a pure science, more as an applied science. Geodesy seemed to me, and it's still today, a good example for an applied, mathematic, physics, science and engineer. While in my real life I'm teaching surveying engineering, I try to form out of young people good surveying engineers. I'm active in FIG since more than 20 years. I was a commission chair, I was a vice president, I'm still a vice president, and now I want to become president. My passion for this is, as I'm open-minded, I like to meet other cultures, I like to meet other people, I think I can contribute here at this point, being the next president. FIG is the global representation of our profession, and we are living in a globalized world. It's very important to have this representation towards our stakeholders, the politicians, the national member associations, the corporate members, and all the politicians and all the official people and bodies around us, and we have to present and to protect our profession and we have to develop our profession. So I think FIG is very important for this, offering an international platform for the development of the profession of surveying and geomatics. My name is Hans-Jer Kutterer, I'm the president of DVW. We are really happy to nominate Rudolf Steiger as the next president of FIG. FIG is the most important international association in the field of surveying engineering. And Rudolf is a very smart guy, very clever guy, and I'm very sure that he's the right person for the next FIG presidency. So think positive and vote for him. Good luck, Rudolf. Today you have to speak a foreign language. So I tried to find a job for studies in France and I was happy, it worked. And I had the opportunity to study for one year in Paris at the National Geographic Institute. My name is Rudolf Steiger, I want to become your next FIG president. My name is Rudolf Steiger, I would like to become your next president of the FIG. Support me, vote for me for a common and good future of FIG.
