The creation of the Prize for the Outstanding M.Sc. Thesis and Ph.D. Dissertation in Cartography, Geodesy and/or Geographic Information was adopted
following recommendation No. 23 taken at the XXII Consultation Meeting of the Cartography Commission. Its goal is to promote and
recognize high quality academic and scientific work made by students of official Masters Programs led by organizations or universities
accredited by any PAIGH Member State, or by nationals of PAIGH Member States who have graduated from universities elsewhere. This prize
will be awarded in the field of Cartography, Geodesy and Geographic Information Science in general, including aspects such as data
capture, manipulation, presentation and dissemination. This initiative is framed with the provisions of the Decalogue for the
Implementation of the Pan American Agenda 2010-2020, and in particular the need to strengthen the link between the Cartography
Commission, National Sections and scientific networks integrating new generations of specialists, technicians and scientists.
