GI_Week 2021: GI_Forum, AGIT and ISDE

GI_Forum 2021 | July 5 – 9 | www.gi-forum.org

Given all the current uncertainties we’re dealing with at the moment, as well as having our international core GI_Forum audience in mind, we decided to organize this year’s GI_Forum as virtual conference, with a few selected on-site events, if the circumstances allow it.

The German-language AGIT is currently being planned as an on-site conference. However, we’re prepared to switch to a hybrid- or online event, should the circumstances require it.

Even though many details are not all clear at the moment, one thing is for sure: we will definitely meet during the first week of July! Join us!

The idea behind our motto re.connecting spatially

Geoinformatics today demonstrates the enormous potentials of georeferencing technologies and is recognized as a core contributor for digitization in all areas of our lives and economies. In order to direct societies and economies (back) to a “well-functioning” upwards trajectory primarily requires

close coupling of our real and virtual worlds by means of location and current position.

Coordinates connect all location-based data with contextual information. Integration by means of ‘spatial joins’ results in new information, thus, providing additional knowledge for decision-making processes for science, economy and our entire society.

ISDE 2021 part of this year‘s GI_Week

The International Symposium on Digital Earth (ISDE) Takes place for the 12th time in 2021.
