<br>
<br>
<tt>The FOSS4G 2010 academic track aims to bringing together
researchers, developers, users and practitioners carrying out research
and development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields
and willing to share original and recent research developments and
experiences.
<br>
<br>
</tt><tt>The academic track will act as an inventory of current
research
topics, but the major goal is to promote cooperative research between
OSGeo developers and the academia. The academic track is the right
forum to highlight the most important research challenges and trends in
the domain, and let them became the basis for an informal OSGeo
research agenda. It will foster interdisciplinary discussions in all
aspects of the geospatial and free and open source domains. It will be
organized in a way to promote networking between the participants, to
initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in
the field, to exchange research ideas and to promote international
collaboration.<br>
