Last Thursday, 7 June, at 18:30hs (+1 GMT), Universidad Santiago de Chile (USACH) connected with our video-conference room so that Spanish speaking students from ITC could participate in the so called 1st e-Seminar "GIS applications to the social environment in Latin America and the Caribbean". This is organized by the cooperation area of the Geographical Engineering Dept of USACH and it is intended to strengthen bonds among our institutions. Many other Latin American Universities will be presenting social topics applied to GIS. In the first session, an ITC MSc thesis work was presented .

The title was: Can e-consultations meet citizen's satisfaction in urban development plans? Case Study, Providencia, Chile

The e-Seminar consists of 6 sessions (every Thursday from now on till July 12th) of presentations from 5 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
