TOPICS AND TARGET GROUP

GI-Days 2007 will provide a platform for young researchers worldwide to
present their work from all sectors of geographic information science.
The range of topics will be comparable to the well established series of
GIScience conferences, focusing on emerging topics and basic research
findings.
GI-Days 2007 will bring together young researchers from the field of
geographic information science. We encourage PhD and Master students as
well as post-docs to submit papers. Participants of GI-Days 2007 will
learn about the diversity of currently ongoing research projects and
receive feedback on their research in a constructive and international
atmosphere.

Short papers (max 1000 words) can be submitted to present visionary
ideas, work in progress and preliminary research results, whereas full
papers (max 6000 words) should present substantial results. All papers
will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee.
Papers must be written and presented in English.

All accepted papers will be published in the ifgiPrints series (with
ISBN). We will ask the authors of the best full papers to submit
extended versions for a special issue in a geographic information
science journal.

We invite you to be part of the up-and-coming generation of geographic
information scientists meeting at GI-Days 2007.
