EUGISES 2010 - Final Call for Papers
================= EUGISES 2010 =====================================
============= Final Call for Papers ================================
Seventh European GIS Seminar
9 - 12 September 2010, Serres, Greece
This will be the seventh European GIS in Education Seminar - EUGISES.
After very successful meetings in the Netherlands (1998), Hungary (2000),
Spain (2002), Austria (2004), Poland (2006) and the U.K. (2008), it will
come to Greece, the town of Serres in 2010. The basic purpose is to offer
an occasion for all of those interested in the teaching and learning of
GIS in Europe (and beyond) to share ideas, best practice, and innovation.
The social aspect will be important as this will be a meeting of old and
new friends with a shared interest and passion.
The plenary sessions will have various forms: paper presentations,
discussion,
working groups, (computer) demonstrations, poster presentations etc.
Presentations will be short, so we do not expect participants to present
their full paper at the seminar but to select those issues that could
stimulate
discussion and the exchange of ideas.
This time we organize the call for papers a little bit different.
Two vision papers are written to organize at least two sessions that will
deal
with questions that are put forward in these two papers (available at the
conference web site).
The first paper focus on how to deal with GI education in a different
world
as seen 10 years ago (related to paper of Marinus de Bakker and Fred
Toppen).
The second is about how to organize GI education, if we accept that most
of
us do not have the resources to develop new topics by ourselves (related
to paper of Josef Strobl).
We hope that some of you would like to take one of these papers as
starting point.
In that case, please indicate which specific topic related to the vision
papers
you will address in your paper. This will help us to organize an
interesting
seminar. The vision papers are available on the conference website. If you
have
any questions related to this, please contact the organizers.
But feel free to address other topics, because we will also have more open
("free") sessions that could address issues such as: best educational
practices,
harmonisation of (GI) curricula in Europe, geo services, GI education for
professionals, GI education for end users, incorporating new technology in
GI-teaching, interoperability of teaching materials, quality assurance
mechanisms
for GI-education, and business models in education.
The complete Call for Papers is available at the conference web site.
