The University of Salzburg hosts again the international GI community from July 7 – 10, 2015: The GI_Forum 2015 provides a platform for dialogue among technologists and critical thinkers, GIScientists and educationalists in an ongoing effort to support the creation of an informed GISociety. Prominent keynote speakers will highlight new developments, offer insights into trends and visions, and at the same time were available for our Young Researchers’ Corner for more individualised interaction with young researchers.

Call for Papers: December 1, 2014 – February 1, 2015

The 27th International Cartographic Conference will take place in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil in 2015!
This is a unique opportunity to meet colleagues, present your work,exchange ideas, display your cartographic products, get connected with the global community of cartography and GI science and have a good time in one of the most famous cities of the world. Why is this a great opportunity? Simply because the fields of Cartography and Geoinformation Science are becoming more relevant than ever. Modern Cartography is a key to mankind. Without maps we would be “spatially blind”. Knowledge about spatial relations and location of objects is extremely important for enabling economic development, managing and administering land, handling disasters and crisis situations or simply to show individuals the best way to get to a specific place. Cartography is also the most contemporary. New and innovative technologies have an important impact into what cartographers are doing. Maps can be derived automatically from geodata acquisition methods such as laser scanning, remote sensing or sensor-networks. Smart models of geodata can be built, allowing an in-depth analysis of structures and patterns. A whole range of presentation forms is available nowadays, from maps on mobile phones all the way to geoinformation in the form of Augmented Reality presentations.

You are cordially invited to the 2015 International Conference on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Geomatics UAV-g 2015. This is the third event of the series of UAV-g Conferences following the very successful meetings in 2011 in Zurich, Switzerland and in 2013 in Rostock, Germany.

In just five weeks the who’s who in GIS will descend on Melbourne as part of the Australian Esri User Conference – Ozri 2015. Held from 2 – 4 September, Ozri gives delegates the chance to learn from local and international GIS specialists, and embrace their inner geo-nerd with hands-on sessions on the latest advancements across the ArcGIS platform.
