Guidelines
ICA is willing to respond positively to requests from responsible organizations who seek endorsement of conferences, meetings and symposia. ICA approval is dependent on confirmation of several aspects:
- Cartography or GIScience has to be a core item of the conference.
- The conference must seek international participation.
- Any member nation of ICA may send attendees.
- A member of the Executive Committee or a chairperson of a commission or working group appointed by the Executive Committee may participate in the Programme Committee of the conference.
- An ICA address is given at the opening by an Executive member, a commission or working group chairperson or an official of the national organisation member of ICA.
- ICA recommends that the conference proceedings are published, with the ICA logo on the front cover.
- The conference is reported on in ICA News by its organizing committee.
Organisations seeking endorsement must contact the Secretary-General and Treasurer prior to the use of the endorsement. Endorsement of a conference does not imply ICA financial support.
