Thank you Maria for this. I now remember the mail.
I request you and all colleagues actively involved in UN GGIM activities to
please raise the importance of joining ideas and work on free and open geo
tools for SDG mapping and evaluation to help the developing countries. The UN
OpenGIS is a good framework that can be used to expand ideas to make this
possible.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Dear All
sorry if I made some confusion. My previous mail was an old one that Suchith
asked me to send again. Please consider only the first part, which is a general
one. The last part ("Also for your information ...) refers to a past event and
therefore now it is definitely old. But this year there will be other events
and therefore if you are interested consider to apply to the Network.
Best.
Maria

Oggetto: Re: [UN] Reaching out to UN GGIM
Dear All
The United Nations initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management [1]
develops and uses geospatial information to address key global challenges. The
priorities and work programs of UN-GGIM are driven by Member States and UN-GGIM
is looking for university and research center partners from across the globe to
help support its aims and objectives.
UN-GGIM has formed in the UN-GGIM Academic Network [2]. This is a strategic arm
for UN-GGIM to achieve their vision [3]. The members of this Academic Network
will be comprised of relevant universities, academic institutions or research
centres where geospatial information research and/or education are accomplished
and also want to voluntarily collaborate with UN-GGIM. Qualifications of
universities and research institutions to become members are listed in the
Terms of References [4].
Although there are no membership dues required, there is an expectation for
each member to regularly contribute to one or more objectives of the UN-GGIM
Academic Network.
If the aims and goals of your geospatial scholars, scientific and academic
institution are in alignment with those of UN-GGIM, I as the Chair of this
Academic Network encourage you to review the UN-GGIM Academic Network website
and, submit and join this Network by sending an Expression of Interest [5].
Because the EOI must be submitted online in one sitting currently, I recommend
that you download the pdf containing the EOI questions so you may have all
responses ready to cut and paste into the form as well as the letter of support
from your chief administrative officer.
We look forward to your submission. If you would like to discuss any issues or
ask questions, please feel free to contact me.
Also for your information, we are conducting an International Forum as part of
the upcoming UN-GGIM meeting in NY later this month, so if your are attending
this meeting I would be delighted to extend our invitation to you and your
colleagues to attend this Forum, which will be on Monday 31 July. The focus and
the theme of the Forum will be on: Secure Land Rights and Smart Cities -
Making it Work for Sustainable Development.
Best Regards,
Maria

[3]
The primary objective of the UN-GGIM Academic Network is to support the aims
and objectives of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial
Information Management (UN-GGIM), as UN-GGIM sets the agenda for the
development of global geospatial information and promotes its use to address
key global challenges.
The network will facilitate access globally to research and education
capabilities for UN-GGIM and its affiliated members in order to identify and
respond to challenges and opportunities for UN-GGIM and related UN offices. The
UN-GGIM Academic Network will be a coalition of recognized universities and
research and education centers involved in research, development and education
on geospatial, land information and related matters, run on a volunteer basis.

Hi Maria,
Thank you for informing. Apologies if I missed any emails on this. Please
resent this.
With these excellent structures in place, it will be good to also share ideas
and work together with UN colleagues on free and open geo tools for SDG
mapping and evaluation to help the UN GGIM work. This is very important for
developing countries .
Best wishes,
Suchith

Dear Suchith
This is something that I already introduced under the supervision of the chairs
of the initiative, Mr. Kyoung-Soo Eom and Prof. Ki-Joune Li. Please consider
that Mr. Kyoung-Soo is part of UN and of UN GGIM as well. I'm the Deputy Chair
of UN GGIM Academic Network (I sent an invitation to the geoforall mailing list
to invite you to get involved in it, probably it is better me to send it again,
in case somebody missed it.I will do that in next days)
Please let me know better what you need.
Happy Sunday!
Maria
