Geographic information systems workshop
4 July 2007 - 4 July 2007
Portugal
The 13th EC GI & GIS (geographic information and geographic information systems) workshop will be held in Porto, Portugal, from 4 to 6 July 2007.
With the agreement on the text of the INSPIRE directive, the focus of this year's workshop is on contribution of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) on environmental analyses and modelling. The objectives of this year's workshop are to:
- identify the contribution of SDIs to environmental analysis, monitoring, and modelling; environmental protection, natural hazards prediction and mitigation, and other applications including water, soil, land use and land cover change, forestry, and atmospheric pollution;
- review the current state of progress of the INSPIRE legislation;
- offer an opportunity to the INSPIRE Drafting Teams to report on the development of the INSPIRE Implementing Rules
- further understanding of the implementation challenges, costs, and benefits of SDIs at national, regional, and local level;
- identify key issues and opportunities for European SDI projects.
The workshop will be organised through a series of plenary sessions addressing common policy issues, and parallel sessions focusing in particular on applications/implementations of SDIs, and research issues.For more information, please visit:
