ICC 2019 Tokyo 15-20 July

The ICA Commission on Education and Training (CET) encourages commission members to consider submitting papers on education and training topics for inclusion in the programme of the International Cartographic Conference (ICC2019) in Tokyo, Japan, 15-20 July 2019.  As in previous ICCs, dedicated sessions addressing such themes are scheduled for this conference, and your participation, as presenter and/or attendee is most welcome.  The revised deadlines and other information about submissions are noted at http://www.icc2019.org/papers.html

The conference will also include our regular business meeting of the Commission, at which the plan for the 2019-2023 period will be discussed, and a new Chair of the Commission will be proposed.  If you have any views to contribute to the meeting, any input to potential terms of reference of the new Commission, and a willingness to engage with the management (including chairing of the Commission), please communicate with the current Chair and/or attend the business meeting which will be clearly noted in the programme.  We look forward to meeting with you in Tokyo.  Please also note the separate announcement of our pre-conference workshop in Beijing, China, 10 – 12 July 2019: you are strongly encouraged to meet with us for a valuable meeting on your way to Tokyo!
