Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the first of the workshops we are planning for
2007. The "United Nations International UN-SPIDER Workshop: Space-based
Information and Solutions for Disaster Management and Emergency Response",
which is being jointly organized by UNOOSA and the German Aerospace Center
(DLR) and with the support of the Government of Germany. The workshop will
be held in Bonn, Germany, from 29 October – 31 October 2007 in the UN
Building in Bonn.

We are attaching the first announcement of the workshop and we would be
grateful if you could forward the announcement to colleagues that would
benefit from participating.

We are also planning the following UN-SPIDER activities and will be sending
you information on these activities shortly:

The "United Nations/China Regional UN-SPIDER Workshop" which is being
organised by UNOOSA and the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA)
and with the support of the Government of China. This workshop will be held
in Guangzhou, China, 3 – 5 December 2007.

previous three meeting, which focused on the International Charter Space

UN-community can and should build upon.
