Dancing The Polka In Praha

摘要

I was fortunate to participate in the Joint Symposium of the ICA Working Group on CEWaCM and JBGIS Gi4DM entitled 'Cartography and Geoinformatics for Early Warning and Emergency Management', held in Prague, the Czech Republic, from 19th to 22nd January. The theme of the conference was 'Towards Better Solutions'. My 144 fellow participants came from 34 countries, many from central and eastern Europe.rnAfter an impressive list of keynote speeches on the first day, a welcome reception was held. The president of the conference, Milan Konecny, was the perfect host - introducing me personally to all keynote speakers and other people he thought I should meet.
