<div>Dear Peter</div>
<div>You have touched the important point. GeoForAll is a Community, like OSGeo is. UN-GGIM is an Institutional Network. They are different and complementary.</div>
<div>I know that it is not easy for many colleagues to join this institutional network. But some of us are also there and we can convey the initiative of GeoForAll there.</div>
<div>We were just discussing few days ago about sustainability and open source. Well, if there is an initiative of GeoForAll related to this theme, I and our Universities that are formally joining UN-GGIM AN, can present it within UN-GGIM AN and this gives
the initiative more visibility.</div>
<div>And this is just an example.</div>
<div>Best regards.</div>

<div>This is great news - Congratulations and well done Maria on the development of the UN-GGIM Academic Network.
<br>
<br>
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?
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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. <br>

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.<br>
It is another level (instututional) with respect to GeoForAll.<br>
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.<br>
If it is not clear the difference please ask me again.<br>
Best<br>

Can they consider joining GeoForAll, or is there a reason a new network is being setup...<br>

Dear All<br>
As probably some of you already know, recently was created, under UN-GGIM, the Academic Network.<br>
Here you can see all details<br>
<a href="http://unggim.academicnetwork.org" target="_blank">http://unggim.academicnetwork.<wbr>org</a><br>
In my opinion it is relevant that all universities and research centers contributing to the UN mandate and the SDGs are part of this network.<br>
Please consider, if you have activities in this field, to join the network (procedures are described on the website) and to help me with comments and suggestions.<br>
The next meeting of the UN-GGIM Academic Network will be in New York (at UN). I will attend and therefore I can present our join activities and I can report you later the outcomes.<br>
Best regards<br>
Maria<br>
