Newsflash

Scientists, users and vendors not only from the Pacific Region, but the world at large will convene for a 4 day conference in Suva, Fiji Islands from 27th November to participate at the 2012 Pacific Island Countries Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing User Conference.

Since it’s inception in 1999, the annual conference has grown from strength to strength as evident by the increase in attendance, expertise and calibre of presentations and discussions held over the years.

The theme for this year is “Mapping Pacific Resources”, which is timely as the recently concluded Rio +20 United Nations conference noted the relevance of global mapping and recognised the value of reliable geospatial information for sustainable development and decision-making. The global conference further recognised the need to support developing countries in their efforts to collect resource and environmental data.
