[Ica-osgeo-labs] European Space Agency - ESA ARTES 20

Tue May 5 01:28:27 PDT 2015

Hi Ela,

Thanks for your suggestion -- as Patrick says -- good idea!

Right now, I'm working on a proposal to the US National Science Foundation
related to our lab network's interest in 'Urban Science/City Analytics' or
'Smart Cities' research and education [1]. There's a list of participants
there... if anyone is not on that list edit the wiki and enter your name.
(folks on that list, I'll be pestering you soon. I almost have a proposal
outline worked out).

More broadly, my hope is that the research and education concepts that this
proposal effort pulls together can be used by others in our network to go
for EU or other funding. I urge everyone to think about how to go after
funds to help support our collective efforts.

Cheers,
Charlie

It is great timing that Charlie and his family are now here at Nottingham for the next two months and i will get opportunity to work closely with him to develop many ideas/research grant proposals etc to expand GeoforAll.
