OSGeo:UK will be represented at GISRUK 2023 this year, which is taking <br>
place in Glasgow, UK.<br>
<br>
Geographical Information Science Research UK (GISRUK) is a community of <br>
academics and practitioners whose mission is the advancement of spatial <br>
sciences and the nurturing of the next-generation spatial experts.<br>
<br>
As in previous years, the conference is going from strength to strength <br>
with a wide range of papers and topics. As the field of research into <br>
the science and applications of geographical information systems <br>
continues to evolve, so does GISRUK.<br>
<br>
GISRUK is a special conference. While originally created as the UK?s <br>
national GIS research conference, and established in 1993, we became <br>
recognised as one of the leading research conference in the area of <br>
GIScience worldwide. We attract delegates from all parts of the UK, <br>
together with the European Union and further afield and from disciplines <br>
including Geography, Computer Science, Planning, Archaeology, Geology, <br>
Geomatics and Engineering.<br>
<br>
The conference will run from 18th - 21st April 2023.<br>
<br>
