Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] UN-GGIM Academic Network

2017-06-15 Thread Peter Mooney 
This is great news - Congratulations and well done Maria on the development
of the UN-GGIM Academic Network.

Just to echo what Jody said about GeoForAll - I would be very interested to
hear your opinion, and Suchith's opinion, on where GeoForAll stands now
that this more formalised and high level academic network has been
established?

I feel that in many cases, for Universities and Research Centers, it might
be very difficult to have an application signed by the top level of the
University. I know in my case it would be very difficult.

GeoForAll offers the very inclusive, bottom up, grass-roots, type of
educational network where a single, small, dedicated and motivated lab
within a complex system like a University can join (based on agreeing to
the GeoForAll MOU) and working with open principles for open education and
learning.

Did you look at the website of UN-GGIM? It is a forum of representatives of the 
Members States or, in case of the Academic Network, of representatives of 
Universities and Research Centers.
It is another level (instututional) with respect to GeoForAll.
The Universities involved in GeoForAll can apply for becoming member of this 
network. The application must be signed by the top level of the University (for 
instance, in my case, as in many others, the Rector) and obviously the 
University has to be involved in projects which support SDGs and the UN-GGIM 
mission.
If it is not clear the difference please ask me again.

Thanks Maria for sharing this excellent updates. We need to have all our labs 
join the UN-GGIM Academic Network and ensure strong support for Open Principles 
in Education. I am in Africa right now for a G77 Ministerial conference and it 
is important that Africa and other developing regions benefit from Geospatial 
opportunities. You are our voice and strong presence for UN GGIM Advisory Board.
