<p>We (chairing the FOSS4G 2016 Academic Track) just considered if
we could publish the accepted paper with Springer.</p>
<p>Karl, could this fit into this book series?</p>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">Glad some of you like the idea :-)</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">We (EUROGEO) is negotiating a book
series with Springer. We submitted a plan for this and are
waiting for their comments. If approved, there will be
opportunities to publish there. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I will share news once we know more. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">The General editor for the series
will be Professor Konantinos Koutsopoulos and each book will
have its own editor invite authors.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I believe describing recording and
documenting the Geo for All initiative needs to be done by the
community itself and we are pleased to offer this possibility.</div>

Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
<br>
<p>Professor Karl Donert (President EUROGEO and Director
European Centre of Excellence, <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digital-earth.eu">digital-earth.eu</a>
University of Salzburg, Austria) has kindly invited me
to deliver a keynote presentation at EUROGEO 2017 in
Amsterdam on 2-3 March 2017. EUROGEO promotes the
European dimension in geographical education as a
contribution towards the development of European
citizenship. By doing so, EUROGEO encourages the
development of a greater European awareness through
the medium of geography and increases mutual knowledge
and understanding of Europe. Details at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.eurogeography.eu.gridhosted.co.uk/about-2/"
class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk480085">
http://www.eurogeography.eu.gridhosted.co.uk/about-2/</a> <br>
</p>
<br>
<br>
EUROGEO 2017 will aim to address cross-cutting issues
such as:<br>
<br>
How does geographical education respond to needs of
society and the world around us?<br>
Does geographical education give young people the
necessary tools they need to think spatially?<br>
How do new technologies and open access to data help
engage youngsters?<br>
How should education respond to the ever-increasing
importance of geographic information?<br>
<br>
<p>I will aim to actively share GeoForAll ideas at the
event and welcome colleagues to proactively contribute
to these important discussions.You can find details of
the conference at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.eurogeography.eu/conference-2017-amsterdam/"
class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk281473">
http://www.eurogeography.eu/conference-2017-amsterdam/</a> <br>
</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>This is really good opportunity for us to proactively
contribute to these important discussions. Ela from
Poland and some of our GeoForAll colleagues are
actively involved in EUROGEO, so this is a good
opportunity for us to further expand collaborations.<br>
</p>
<br>
Topics may include but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
early years geography education<br>
geography in primary school<br>
high school developments<br>
curriculum development and change<br>
university level teaching and learning<br>
innovation and change<br>
the use of new technologies<br>
employability and careers<br>
<br>
<br>
<p>Karl also put forward an excellent idea for compiling
a book to record "Geo for All" developments and
initiatives. If fact , our colleagues in various labs
are contributing to each of the topics above from
early year geography education to innovation and
change, so it will be great to have a book compiled
with all the global inputs. I would like to welcome
inputs from the wider community for this. We will need
one lead person from GeoForAll to lead this book
project. Please let me or Karl (cc in) know if you are
interested.<br>
</p>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
