I have been informed that The IGU Executive Committee will discuss the MoU proposal and ideas for collaborations i put in its next meeting in Quebec in early May and Yukio will get back to me. I request that Helena or one of the OSGeo Boad members be the
main contact from now to take this forward. I will send a seperate mail connecting Yukio for this. Thanks.<br>

Best wishes,<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
I have now got email from Yukio Himiyama (President, International Geographical Union) exploring ideas for expanding our collaborations for the future. I have emailed that i will get him in contact with OSGeo Board so we can plan a MoU (similar to ISPRS, ICA).<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>

Asunto: [geoforall-ab] GeoForAll expanding collaborations with IGU colleagues<br>
<br>
Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I was invited to deliver a keynote for the EuroGeo 2017 conference "Key Challenges in Geographical Education"[1] in Amsterdam last week and had the opportunity to meet and discuss ideas with some amazing colleagues from the International Geographical Union
(IGU) in the sidelines.<br>
<br>
<p>IGU is an international , non-governmental, professional organization devoted to the development of the discipline of Geography. Their details are at
<a href="http://igu-online.org" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk568046" previewremoved="true">

</p>
<br>
<br>
They are a very active community doing many important work and closely following GeoForAll developments. They missed the early move advantage that ICA, ISPRS and others did on Open Principles in Education but i believe they are a key community to collaborate
for the future. So i have now reached out to IGU colleagues globally and we will start ideas for expanding our collaborating with them. I will keep you all updated.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Suchith<br>
