WALIS Success! International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) Symposium: ISDE7 2011
It has just been confirmed that WALIS has been successful in its international bid to host the International Society for Digital Earth Symposium (ISDE7) in 2011.
WALIS was recently notified that its Australian bid was successful.
Marnie Leybourne, Director of WALIS, is currently in China where she made a presentation to the ISDE Executive Committee at the ISDE6 Symposium held in Beijing and was subsequently notified that the next ISDE Symposium in 2011 will be held in Perth.
It is anticipated that WALIS International Forum 2011 will be held in conjunction with ISDE7, making the Symposium a broad, international and exciting event that is a coup not only for WALIS community, but also for our State.
Congratulations to the WALIS team for their efforts in putting the submission together, culminating in such exciting success!
