175 EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN CARTOGRAPHY Ferjan Ormeling ICA Standing Commission on Education and Training University of Utrecht, Netherlands INTRODUCTION TO THE WORK OF ICA-CET In order to adapt the cartographic curriculum and cartographic manuals like Basic Cartography to the demands of our society, the Standing Commission on Education and Training of the International Cartographic Association (ICA-CET) has elaborated a programme aimed both at the developing and the developed world. For the first we have initiated a series of seminars that should make cartography teachers and trainers aware of the state of the art of cartographical education. Seminars in this line have been held in Rabat, Morocco in 1984, in Wuhan, China, 1986, and we are planning seminars for Chile and Thailand for next year. For the second group of countries we have started a series of seminars aimed at identifying the new directions we should take for the future. In this series of seminars we have tackled the following issues: - Teaching Computer-assisted Map Design (Munich, Siemens 1988) - Education and Training in GIS (ACSM/ASPRS, Baltimore 1989) - Teaching Cartography for Environmental Information Management (ITC, Enschede 1989) - Teaching the Interface between Remote Sensing, GIS and Cartograohy (Eurosense, Budapest, 1989) - Teaching Map Analysis (Intergraph, Huntsville 1990, tentative) - Teaching the History of Cartography, Stockholm 1991. With the material contributed to these seminars, we intend to update the manual Basic Cartography. It consists new of two volumes, that contain chapters on historical cartography, the scope of cartography, projection systems, manual map production techniques, theory of cartographic design, map reproduction, topographic and thematic cartography, map compilation, generalization and computer-assisted production tech niques. It is to be extended with a third volume with chapters on Remote Sensing, GIS, Documentation, Map Analysis, and Tactile Map Production. As a companion to this manual, an Exercise book has been produced which will be published for the Internatio nal Cartographic Association this year by Elsevier, and which has been collated from material sent in by 11 ICA member countries. Though we are very happy with the result, the collating procedure was rather discouraging, extremely time-consuming, and we had to spent a lot of money on custom dues imposed on the various contributions that were sent in free, in 2000 copies each, by the team of authors. An inspection copy will be presented here in Rhodos. In this paper I will present those results of our seminar programme that are deemed relevant to members of the ISPRS. The new developments in the cartographic curriculum will be discussed, the integration with other mapping sciences, and the teaching of cartography to those who will not have it as their main field of activity. In order to do so I will draw on the proceedings of the seminars mentioned that have been published untill now.
