Conference

The European focused imaGIne conference will provide an excellent opportunity to get a flavour of what is going on in the sector and also, most importantly, to establish or consolidate networks with important role players in this fast expanding sector.
A key aim of the conference is to showcase the best which Europe has to offer in the geospatial field, thus the conference sub-title “Geographic Information Expertise: Made in Europe”. The aim has guided EUROGI and its member associations in the selection of themes and speakers.

The 10th International gvSIG Conference, organized by the gvSIG Association, will be held from 3 to 5 December 2014 under the slogan "Strategies for the 21st Century". Call for papers is now open. Proposals can be sent to the email address: conference-contact [at] gvsig.com; they will be evaluated by the scientific committee as to their inclusion in the conference program.

From publically available satellite images such as LANDSAT to the creation of digital globes, the tools researchers and students use to visualize the Earth have changed dramatically over the last several decades. Working to further this shift is the International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE). The ISDE’s mission is to use global cooperation to create a comprehensive geospatial model of the Earth to inform scientific and political decisions about environmental and other Earth observation-related concerns.
