Dear friends and colleagues,

>  
> The first two editions of the Academic Track, at State of the Map 2018 in Milan and State of the Map 2019 in Heidelberg, have proven that this track is a wonderful chance to connect the OpenStreetMap community with the academic community and to provide a platform to exchange ideas and opportunities for increased collaboration.

For more information please check the call [1]. Questions directed to the Scientific Committee should be sent to academic-sotm at openstreetmap.org <mailto:academic-sotm at openstreetmap.org>.

Contributions should be submitted via the conference management system [4] by no later than February 23, 2020.
