About GISRUK
Geographical Information Science Research UK (GISRUK) is a community of academics and practitioners whose mission is the advancement of spatial sciences and the nurturing of the next-generation spatial experts. Every year, the GISRUK
international conference showcases cutting-edge geospatial research from leading universities and research centres. The conference is held annually at a different venue in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and attracts senior and
junior scientists and scholars from Britain, Europe, and beyond.
Scientifically, GISRUK connects the area of geographical information science and systems (GIS) with contemporary trends in spatial analytics and geographic data science. It promotes interdisciplinary interaction between researchers
in geography, data science, environmental sciences, ecology, computer science, urban planning, archaeology, geology, geomatics, and the digital humanities.
Kindly supported by Ordnance Survey, Esri UK, and Google, the conference welcomes delegates from academia and from the thriving British geospatial industry and government agencies. Participants engage in professional networking across universities, public and private sectors, discussing new projects, funding schemes, and job opportunities.
Since its first edition in 1993, GISRUK acts as a symposium for early-career researchers and students to present and discuss their work with prominent senior scientists in an inclusive and friendly atmosphere. Many geospatial careers start with a GISRUK short paper.
GISRUK rewards scientific excellence with prizes to outstanding papers, highlighting the quality and range of topics and ideas that stem from the conference.
We look forward to welcoming you to GISRUK 2023, which will take place in Glasgow.
