Dutch Student Group visited Hungarian GIS-based solution provider enterprise



Radboud University students visited Geometria, the Hungarian flagship company in AM/FM R+D and applications

Ms. Laura Marchesini wrote in her notes to HUNAGI last week:
"A group of 40 students from the Radboud University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands visited Budapest for a week (21 to 28 April 2007). The aim of the travel was to do research on the following subjects:
-Hungary’s entrance to the European Union and its opportunities for business life.
-The transition from a planned to a market economy and its consequences for business life.
By means of visiting several Hungarian companies the students gained insight into these subjects. One of the companies that was willing to welcome the students was Geometria. On 26 April the managing director of the company, Mr Tibor Tenke, has introduced his company by means of a presentation. After that, he was very open to answers all questions the students had prepared. He has shared his experiences concerning the research topics, which has been very useful in order to help the students writing their research reports.
"



Fully in line with the mission goals of the Hungarian Association for Geo-information, HUNAGI is ready to advise foreign study groups to arrange their programs while in Hungary. Mention should be made, similar actions are underway with a high profile Chinese delegation next week and in the Canadian relation. This latter has primary goal is the trade development with interested Hungarian SME players active on the geospatial marketplace.

On the first 6 months of HUMBOLDT Project


HUMBOLDT project - the state of the art

Internal introduction of the HUMBOLDT Project for the FÖMI R+D staff organised by Tamás Palya of the Land Training and Documentation Department of the Institute. Also fine tee was served :-)
HUNAGI's Secretary General - as one of the HUMBOLDT project's international reviewer - was also invited.

Presentations were delivered by Peter Winkler responsible for the Humboldt's Application segment, Gyula Iván, Chair of the Workpackage V&V (Verification and Validation) and Dániel Kristóf developers. The meeting attracted many FÖMI R+D staff members. Szabolcs Mihály DG of FÖMI emphasized the importance of the involvement of FÖMI in this flagship project both from GMES and INSPIRE point of view and the useful role of the young innovative staff members, György Büttner of FÖMI (Member of the EU GMES Committee on Land monitoring) pointed out the necessity of awareness raising on the ongoing EU projects which have close relevance with GMES, while Gabor Remetey called the attention on the achievments and initiatives inside HUNAGI, which can be strengthen the implementation of the project (as example graphIT's internationally award winner border security project and the IHLET's Public Benefit Company's multilateral cross border project initiative on Tisza were mentioned).

SDI discussed at the Map Middle East Conference

The issue "Benefits of SDI" addressed at the Map Middle East Conference
From our daily mail:
“The Third Annual Map Middle East Conference was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 9-11 April 2007. It was held in conjunction with the ISPRS. Around 500 delegates, presenters and exhibitors attended this showcase of geospatial technology in the Middle East. One notable session was a roundtable on Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). Speakers came from Australia, South Africa and several Middle East countries. Issues included describing the benefits of SDI to obtain political and user support, data pricing and access and interoperability. It was clear that all jurisdictions represented at the session had similar problems in addressing these issues. Details on the conference can be found at www.mapmiddleeast.org/2007/ .
