The Geoinformatics Research Days event is the annual gathering for geoinformatics experts in Finland, which has been arranged by the member universities of the Finnish University Network for Geoinformatics (Fiuginet) for over 10 years.
Traditionally, the Research Days have been a relatively small-scale event with mostly invited programme. However, in 2023 Fiuginet made the decision to develop the event into a scientific conference, and therefore we are proud to announce the Call for papers for Geoinformatics Research Days 2024. The event will take place on May 20-21st, 2024 and will be organized by Aalto University together with the Fiuginet network, hosted in Espoo, Finland. The event is held together with the ICA Commission on Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualisation with targeted sessions and their members are also warmly welcome.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and experts from academia, industry, and government sectors both in Finland and abroad to submit their research contributions for presentation during the Geoinformatics Research Days 2024. The conference will cover a broad spectrum of topics related to Geoinformatics, including but not limited to:
Geospatial Data Acquisition and Processing
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing
Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization
Geospatial Algorithms and Modeling
User Cognition in Geospatial Applications
Geoinformatic Human-Computer Interaction
Location-Based Services and Geographic Information Retrieval
Big Data Analytics for Geospatial Applications
Spatial Data Infrastructures and Interoperability
Geoinformatics for Smart Cities and Urban Planning
Environmental Monitoring and Geospatial Solutions
Geoinformatics for Sustainable Development
Geospatial AI and Machine Learning Applications
Open Geospatial Science and Open Source Software
Papers aimed at the programme related to the ICA Commission on Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization
Your participation in the Geoinformatics Research Days 2024 will make a significant contributions, foster collaboration, and shape the future of Geoinformatics. Together, let’s advance the understanding and application of geospatial technologies for a more sustainable and interconnected world.
Submission guidelines#
Presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract of a maximum of 1000 words (approximately 2 pages of text) in English. In your paper please note if your paper is aimed at the ICA CogVIS programme track.
