As part of the International Year of Global Understanding, EUROGEO together with IGU-CGE and IYGU will organise a Global Understanding stories competition for two categories of participants:
a) for university students to present the stories behind their research and
With the support of ESRI the stories will be shared in ArcGIS Online
We will need your help in promoting this. Full details will be announced later. The deadline for entry will be December 31st 2016.
The competition will be launched at EUROGEO 2016 in Malaga, Spain, a conference being held in conjunction with the Real Sociedad Geographica and the Spanish Association of Geography Educators. See http://www.eurogeography.eu/conference-2016-malaga/
We are hoping to run a number of IYGU sessions at EUROGEO 2016 in Malaga, Spain - September 29-30 2016 as the theme of the event is "Geographic Information: for a better world”.
We invite you to share information about the event and the forthcoming competition with your colleagues, networks and research teams and help celebrate the IYGU with us, participating in stimulating discussion and debate around the themes of the International Year.
After some discussion with Benno and in order to facilitate the potential of this activity the local conference organisers have agreed to extend registration (and early bird rates) for IYGU papers only until July 31st.
We are looking forward to your contributions. Please get back to me if you have any questions
Best Wishes
