What's New

UCGIS meeting schedule has changed in 2012

At the June 2011 Summer Assembly, the UCGIS Board voted to consolidate the UCGIS meeting schedule to one meeting per year and host the meeting in the spring of each year, while combining the best of both the winter meeting and summer assembly activities in that meeting.

Building GIScience 2.0

May 30-June 1, Washington DC Doubletree Hotel
Let's get to work creating GIScience 2.0. GIScience has had a profound influence on society over the past 20 years. During 2011, UCGIS has been considering its 15-year history and its vision for the future. This Spring, come participate in Washington and help create the next generation of GIScience! We are combining the traditional winter and summer meetings into a single 3 day event that will bring the community together to advance GIScience research, education, and policy.

  •  Share your ideas about the future of GIScience in a 5-minute lightning talk on research, education, or policy
  •  Build relationships between the GIScience academy and federal government in a UCGIS Geospatial Extension Project workshop
  •  Form or join a working group to solve major challenges in research, education, and policy
  •  Develop plans for collaborative grant proposals
  •  Chart your personal role in helping our discipline become stronger

Twenty years from now, you'll be able to say, "I was there for the birth of GIScience 2.0."

May 30-June 1, 2012
