During the week of 10 to 14 November 2014, IRMCo hosted a successful meeting for the Mare Nostrum project partners. The central focus of the meeting was a training workshop on PPGIS, Public Participatory GIS, conducted by IRMCo. For the hands-on tutorials, IRMCo adapted positive experiences with using PPGIS in previous water management research projects to the specific requirements of coastal zone management around the Mediterranean, the focus of Mare Nostrum.
