[Geo4All] Seasons Greetings from GeoForAll

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues and friends,

As 2016 is nearly over, I wish to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your support and contributions for Open Principles in Science and Education. Our thanks to all of you for your  selfless contributions that helped us achieve a wonderful 2017.  

The aim of GeoForAll is to empower all academics and students worldwide forever. GeoForAll is committed to work towards the vision of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for building a better world for everyone. Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the internet in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Openness is key for true empowerment and sustainability.  Access to quality education opportunities is everyone’s birthright. So let us all keep working together to enable open principles in education to help create a world that is more accessible, equitable and full of innovation and opportunities for everyone. 

Openness is fundamental in harnessing the true potential of Geospatial Science and expanding digital economy opportunities for all. Open innovation is key in driving Digital Economy opportunities and to make sure that everyone benefits. Geographic Information Science is Open for all and for our future generations. Let us all work to make sure Geographic Information Science is Open for our future generations…

On behalf of everyone at "GeoForAll" initiative, we wish you and your families very happy holidays and Happy New Year 2018.

Best wishes,
               
Suchith
