Objectives
The primary process for bridging the gap between the Indian and US geospatial communities will be the effective and efficient use of existing professional venues that are already attracting a large number of government, industry, utility and academic managers and decision-makers. The bilateral exchange forum which include representatives from all vital economic and government sectors will serve to bring together these two complementary national communities.
To that end, the primary intent and purpose of this bilateral forum is threefold:
- To raise awareness of the technologists, educators and practitioners in both countries that more and closer cooperation is essential for all to prosper;
- To identify and begin to overcome barriers to effective collaboration between India and the US in order to achieve these objectives; and
- To establish and sustain collaborative efforts well into the future to ensure the viability and success of this cycle.
The platform will:
- Provide through substantive interaction among government, academia and industry
- Provide an opportunity, to exchange ideas, information, skills and technologies, and to collaborate on technological endeavor of mutual interest that can translate the power of geospatial for the benefit at large.
- Be a platform for dissemination of information and creating awareness through substantive interactions between Indian and American geospatial stakeholders.
- Facilitate exchange of information on the current state-of-the-art and the state-of-practice of Geospatial Application
