The Commission is now opening its doors to applications for ISMAR11 in 2022. This is a heads up and the process will be outlined after the IAH Congress, with proposals due by January 2019 for decision making by the selection committee (that involves IAH, UNESCO and ASCE) for announcement at ISMAR10.
