GISRUK 2010: Call for papers now open!
The Programme Committee for the GIS Research UK (GISRUK) conference in 2010 are pleased to open the call for papers.
The GISRUK conference series is the UK’s national GIS research conference, established in 1993. GISRUK conferences are primarily aimed at the academic community though research papers from outside academia are welcomed. The conferences attract delegates from all parts of the UK, together with the European Union and North America, and from disciplines including Geography, Computer Science, Planning, Archaeology, Geology, Geomatics, Crime Science and Engineering.
This year the conference is being hosted at University College London (UCL), from Wednesday 14 to Friday 16 April 2010.
The overarching theme this year will therefore be “Global Challenges”. As is usual with GISRUK papers across the range of contemporary GIS research are welcomed, but the papers on the following themes are particularly well received:
- Crime and Place
- Environmental Change
- Migration and Identity
- Intelligent Transport
- Public Health and Epidemiology
- Simulation and Modelling
- London as a global city
- The geoweb and neo-geography
- Open GIS and Volunteered Geographic Information
More details of the call for papers, abstract format, and the submission URL can all be found on the conference website.
Plenary speakers and details of the social events at the conference are to be announced shortly. Conference registration will open in the Autumn.
