UCL is hosting this year’s GIS Research UK (GISRUK) conference, mostly because I landed them with it. As a result I’m co-chairing this with Muki Haklay at UCL. We hope to attract the regular GISRUK crowd but also to bring in a slightly wider audience of people whose disciplines use or connect to GIS. The paper deadline is approaching at the end of this month, so now’s the time to get writing.
GISRUK is an annual, academic conference series that has been running since 1993. It’s a relatively informal conference and aims to be a good place for PhD students and others to make their first presentations in academic GIS. GISRUK traditionally just takes extended abstracts – the best contributions are invited to go on to be written up as full papers or book chapters. While it focuses on the UK academic GIS community, we usually have people from around Europe and further afield attending. Nor are we exclusive to academics – abstracts are judged on their merits and anyone is free to attend.
