This is great news - Congratulations and well done Maria on the development of the UN-GGIM Academic Network.
Just to echo what Jody said about GeoForAll - I would be very interested to hear your opinion, and Suchith's opinion, on where GeoForAll stands now that this more formalised and high level academic network has been established? I feel that in many cases, for Universities and Research Centers, it might be very difficult to have an application signed by the top level of the University. I know in my case it would be very difficult. GeoForAll offers the very inclusive, bottom up, grass-roots, type of educational network where a single, small, dedicated and motivated lab within a complex system like a University can join (based on agreeing to the GeoForAll MOU) and working with open principles for open education and learning.
