Evidence

Any map as long as it is….

• Good maps are invisible

• Importance of context / personalized maps

• Time (to create / to use …… society get faster and faster)

Quotes and observations

• Reports….

• Paper in research agenda (special issue International Journal of Cartography)

• Participate in ICA activities

• ICC Washington 2017

• Commission activities (there is a flavor for all of you)
