Within the CHANGES project, it is aimed to have a spatial decision support system to analyze the current and future risk scenarios and help the decision makers in selecting\u00a0the best risk reduction alternative for the current and future years. The system is to be\u00a0implemented by using open source Geospatial software and it is planned to make it free for the potential users.<\/p>\n<p>The reason to attend this conference was to gain the insights on the\u00a0new works, updates and technologies supported by OSGeo.
