<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The <a href="https://geoinfo.science/">Geographic Information Science Research Group (GIScRG)</a> of the RGS-IBG is glad to invite you to submit proposals for sponsorship of your RGS-IBG Annual International
Conference 2022 sessions. The GIScRG welcomes sessions that focus on geographic information science and tools, cartography, spatial analysis, critical GIS and related disciplines. We are also open to co-sponsorships with other Research Groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Obtaining a group sponsorship for your session is not required, but it will connect your session to the broader GIScience community of the RGS-IBG. We will promote your session along with the other sessions
we sponsor, providing your session with broader publicity. The session will be part of our AIC programme, thus avoiding overlaps with other GIScience sessions. Please note, however, that sponsorships do not include financial support, although you might be
able to apply for a guest pass. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
