Thank you for our comment. This conference is part of an ARES-CCD (French speaking academic cooperation, former national CUD) training about GIS: we host 15 trainees from French speaking African countries. Unfortunately they are not bilingual.
Nevertheless, flemish actors are also involved in our project: GIM (Geographic Information Management- Heverlee) will present their work. We also contacted AGIV for presenting INSPIRE issues a few weeks ago but we didn't get any answer. Please let us know if have other contacts in AGIV for presenting this topic. Indeed, our aim is to have public actors from the three Belgian regions. However, if it better sounds to you, we could use the name “OSGEOBrussels”.
