Yet another e-conference from International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the Mountain Forum Secretariat (MFS) (Nepal) after the Mountain GIS e-Conference.
This time, the theme is different as it has much to do with Culture and Risk and leans towards the socio-cultural aspects unlike the earlier conference which focussed on a rather technical component – Geospatial sciences and its use within the mountain context.
The global e-conference on “Culture and Risk: Understanding the Socio-Cultural Settings that Influence Risk from Natural Hazards” is scheduled from 22 Sept to 3 October 2008.
Check out more details are available at: http://www.mountainforum.org/rs/ec/index.cfm?econfid=16.
