Seminars and Workshops
CET organizes seminars and workshops
for two reasons:
- in order to help developing countries
improve the level of cartographic education, and
- in order to find out about new
developments that should find their way into cartography manuals.
Of most past seminars that were organized
for both objectives, proceedings have been
produced, a number of which are still available. Seminars and workshops can
be organized on demand by CET, if the host countries fulfill specific conditions.
Many of the recent seminars have been organized together with other ICA Commissions.
Activities with education commissions of other disciplines represented in the
IUSM are envisaged.

education in developing countries have been held in:
