It exists to promote the use of cartography in decision-making processes; foster dissemination of environmental, economic, social and spatial information through mapping; provide a global forum for discussion of the role and status of cartography; facilitate the transfer of cartographic knowledge; carry out cartographic research; enhance cartographic education; and promote professional and technical standards. ICA works with national and international governmental and commercial bodies and with other international scientific societies to achieve these aims. Visit www.icaci.org.
