What you should know about this project#

Global-Geography (GG) is a project with many international partners (individuals or institutions) as shown in the Global-Geography Consortium, GGC for short. Each person shown is either just participating as person or is representing some group or institution. It is part of the Austria-Forum.

Information can be viewed without registration, and anyone can contribute by sending information, comments or corrections by mail to the current secretary of the consortium, Profesor Hermann Maurer at hmaurer100@gmail.com . Please help us check the accuracy of information or contribute otherwise as is explained in detail under item (6) above. Note in passing that each country has a category "Community contribution" where everyone can e.g. add the URL of a picture or video-clip of interest. The main difference of this geography server compared to others is that it not only provides numerical and cartographical information and allows to use the information interactively, but also offers information on cultural issues/cultural heritage and provides pictures (with extensive legends) and stories typical for the country involved.
