The purpose of the group is to bring together specialists and interested in the GIS area in Latin America mainly, to have an annual event to present works and advances related to geographic information systems, both from research communities and industry and government. Also, participate and define collaborative programs in conjunction with universities, government entities, and industry. In addition, have meetings and discussion groups to collaborate on issues such as projects, theses and stays in several institutions, participation in the call, funding and other support modalities. For example, this year organizes this initiative through the Space Intelligence Workshop, where we contact speakers from various institutions.
