Brisbane’s GIS Day events, created by GIS People, are the largest in the world! Bringing people together from across Australia – government, professionals, businesses, uni students and everyone in between – it is an awesome event that connects the geospatial industry to potential or existing users and clients. This year, Brisbane GIS Day also runs the day after the International Map Industry Association (IMIA) Asia Pacific Conference, creating an epic 3-day geospatial event celebrating International Map Year!

International GIS Day, created by Esri Inc. in 1999 as part of Geography Awareness Week, is an annual event that celebrates and promotes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its associated spatial technologies

Nepal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (NICS), and Nepal Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric Society (NRSPS) are jointly organizing International Workshop on the “Role of Land Professionals and SDI in Disaster Risk Reduction: in the context of ‘Post 2015 Nepal Earth Quake’ from November 25-27, 2015 in Kathmandu, Nepal (www.workshopnepal2015.com.np). The workshop is a joint event of the Commission 2 of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), and Technical Commission IV, WG 4 of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS).

We are pleased to inform you that the twenty-second session of the Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF-22) will be held from December 1-4, 2015 in Bali, Indonesia, under the theme of “Sharing Solutions through Synergy in Space.” APRSAF-22 will be jointly organized by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of Indonesia (RISTEK-DIKTI), the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). APRSAF-22 will consist of plenary and working group sessions. During APRSAF-22, we will also have progress reports on the APRSAF initiatives, i.e. Sentinel Asia (disaster management support system in the Asia-Pacific region), SAFE (Space Applications For Environment), and Kibo-ABC (Asian Beneficial Collaboration Through “Kibo” Utilization). In conjunction with APRSAF-22, there will also be SAFE workshop and Kibo-ABC workshop on November 30.

The EuroCOW 2016 will be held from February 10th to February 12th, 2016 on the EPFL campus, located in Lausanne, Switzerland (Reachable in 1h from Geneva International Airport by public transportation).

This biennial meeting intends to bring together the world experts, both from public and private sectors, to present and discuss the recent findings and developments on Sensor Calibration and Orientation. With the recent development of autonomous platforms, this traditional field of photogrammetry and geodesy integrates with robotics, computer vision and system control.

The organizers are setting the conditions for a practical, informative and informal three-day meeting in a relaxed atmosphere, and expect to attract real experts with hands-on experience in the field. The presented full papers will be published in ISPRS archives.

Live demonstrations on the latest development are expected from the main event sponsors, former EPFL-startups Pix4D and senseFly, now recognized leaders in their fields.

The 2^nd Asia Pacific Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation

in conjunction with

The 16^th International Convention on Melaka Twin Cities

Building Local Resilience towards Liveable Cities

2-4 March, 2016 | Melaka, Malaysia

After achieving great success from Resilient Cities Asia-Pacific 2015, ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia is back with its second Asia-Pacific Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation – Resilient Cities Asia-Pacific 2016 scheduled to be held at Hotel Equatorial, Melaka from 2-4 March, 2016.

“Melaka as a “Green City-State” is the first state in Malaysia to prepare a GHG emissions inventory and implement an action plan to contribute to the national climate change mitigation target. We are now progressing towards addressing climate resilience and hosting the “2nd Asia Pacific Forum on Urban Resilience and Adaptation” is an important milestone in the process”, said YAB Datuk Seri Ir.Hj.Idris bin Hj. Haron, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Melaka, Malaysia.

The event will be hosted by Melaka State Government in collaboration with Melaka Historic City Council and IMT-GT. ICLEI South Asia will be organizing the event, which suppose to have about 500 delegates from all over the world attending the conference.

The main objective of the program is to create a space for local governments, institutions and communities where they can come together to discuss climate resilience in urban areas.

According to Judith Rodin, the President of Rockefeller Foundation, “Tackling climate change challenges may require radical new approaches, new ways of thinking and perhaps even an entirely new discipline around the idea of planetary health”.

Previous year, the event had taken place in Bangkok and this time it is ready to land in World heritage city, Melaka. This extraordinary conference will feature many expert speakers on urban resilience development.
