Sixth International Conference on Geographic Information Science
Zurich, Switzerland, September 14-17, 2010
LAST CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS and WORKSHOPS/TUTORIALS ANNOUNCEMENT
OVERVIEW:
Zurich, Switzerland will be the host city of the sixth international GIScience conference, continuing a highly successful series of biennial conferences that commenced in 2000. GIScience 2010 aims to bring together scientists from academia, industry, and government to discuss the state-of-the-art in geographic information science, and explore emerging research directions. The conference focuses on basic research findings across all sectors of the field and has two refereed submission tracks:
full papers and extended abstracts. Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (Sep. 14) and the main conference (Sep. 15-17) will take place at the University of Zurich, Irchel campus, featuring state-of-the-art conference facilities within a park-like setting. The conference site is located only 20 minutes from both downtown and Zurich Airport, and is easily accessible through public transport.
TOPICS AND TRACKS:
Fundamental research findings and emerging topics across all sectors of geographic information science (GIScience) are welcomed. The conference attracts leading researchers from all cognate disciplines to reflect the interdisciplinary breadth of GIScience, including (but not limited to) geography, cognitive science, computer science, engineering, information science, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, social science, and (geo)statistics.
Since GIScience 2010 focuses on advances in the fundamentals of geographic information science, submission of pure application papers is discouraged.
To accommodate the variety of publication cultures within an interdisciplinary research community, two refereed submission tracks are provided: full papers (NOW CLOSED) and extended abstracts.
EXTENDED ABSTRACTS TRACK:
Publication in separate Conference Proceedings Volume
Extended abstracts of 1500 words, describing work in progress, will be reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee and, if accepted, selected for oral or poster presentation. Extended abstracts must be written in English according to the formatting guidelines published at http://www.giscience2010.org/index.php?page=submission

Dear Friend of Regional Science:
Mark your calendars and save the dates for the 57th Annual North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International. This year’s meeting will be held at The Grand Hyatt Denver from Wednesday November 10th to Saturday November 13th, 2010 in Denver, Colorado.
The 2010 meetings promise to be bigger and better than ever. A new innovation introduced this year will be the opportunity to participate in poster sessions in addition, or as an alternative, to the regular paper sessions. We’re also working on optional sightseeing activities and training opportunities.
Start thinking about that paper and/or poster you’d like to present. The registration portal of the North American Regional Science Council (NARSC) will open in late April 2010. Always an important part of the conference, please think about organizing one or several themed sessions. Paper/poster abstracts and session proposals can be submitted any time from opening data through August 1, 2010.
Information about the 2010 Denver Conference is now available at the NARSC Website <www.narsc.org>. But, check back often as we add new information about the conference and activities surrounding the conference.

Attached is a flyer outlining the 2010 Applied Geography Conference which will be held in Fort Worth, Texas on October 20-23, 2010.
The XXXVI Regional Studies Meeting organized by the Spanish Regional Science Association (AECR) will be held in partnership with the Portuguese Association for Regional Development (APDR) in the towns of Badajoz (Spain) and Elvas (Portugal). The main topic of this International Meeting on Regional Science is "THE FUTURE OF THE COHESION POLICY."
The meeting will begin with a workshop, whose topic is “Frontiers and Regional Development”, in Elvas (Portugal) on Wednesday, November 17, 2010. The meeting will continue with the lectures and the presentations of papers about the different subject areas, on Thursday 18 and Friday, November 19 in Badajoz (Spain).
The languages of the meeting will be English, Spanish and Portuguese and, at the moment, the confirmed speakers are Geoffrey Hewings (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA), Philip McCann (University of Reading, UK) and Diego Puga (IMDEA Social Sciences, Spain).
I attach the information leaflet (pdf) and, please, we ask you to include this information in your website and to circulate this document among partners and other databases that you have available as much as you can.
