In order to deepen the recently established cooperation
between UNIGIS in Latin America and the University ICESI, Colombia (http://www.icesi.edu.co), both
organizations jointly organized a well-attended GI-symposium at the ICESI
campus in Cali. Nearly 200 attendees discussed challenges and opportunities for
GIS-practitioners in Colombia with a specific focus on GI-education. On behalf
of the UNIGIS team in Latin America we would like to express our sincere thanks
to all participants and to the staff of our partner university in Colombia for their
participation and collaboration!
