PGRSC National Focal Points Network
In order to regionalise our annual Pacific Islands GIS & RS Conference, the Council moved forth to select/nominate national focal points. The focal points are responsible for the following activities:
- Collect and summarise ideas on improving and creating a more inclusive Pacific Islands GIS & RS Conference
- Promote the Conference by receiving the latest news
- Follow up national presentations and assist in facilitation
- Distribute spatial and non spatial data.
- Distribute the GIS&RS Newsletter
Find a list below of the National Focal Points with their contact information. If there are any concerns, or if you would like to represent your country as a focal contact please feel free to email pgrsc@pgrsc.com
