" Liebe Listenteilnehmer

Am 14./15. Mai 2010 findet in Dresden das GI2010-Symposium, d.h. nach GI2000
vor 10 Jahren nunmehr bereits das "10. Sächsische GIS-Forum" - GI2010 - statt.

GI2010 zeichnet sich wie in den vergangenen 10 Jahren "GI2000+X" dadurch aus,
daß erneut - im Unterschied zu anderen sächsischen GIS-Veranstaltungen -
das Tagungsprogramm aus einem offenen Aufruf komponiert wird, um mehr
Transparenz und offene Diskussionen zum "Status-quo" der Implementierung
der europäischen Direktiven PSI (2003/98/EC), ACCESS (2003/4/EC) bzw.
INSPIRE (2007/2/EC) zu demonstrieren.

Anläßlich unseres 10-jährigen Jubiläums "10. Sächsisches GIS-Forum - GI2010 - "
konnten erneut hochrangige EU-Experten auf dem Gebiet von eGOVERNMENT,
GEOINFO und INSPIRE aus AT, BE, CZ, und UK gewonnen werden.

Darüber hinaus bietet der gemeinnützige IGN-Verein interessierten Fachexperten
und Praktikern aus den Fachbereichen GEO+UMWELT+PLANUNG auch 2010 wieder
die Möglichkeit, sich als Autor neben weiteren europäischen Keynote-Referenten mit
einer eigenen Präsentation (Vortrag, Poster, PC-Demo oder Workshop-Angebot)
einzubringen (siehe dazu auch archivierte Proceedings von GI2009 bzw. GI2008
auf der EU-ePSIplatform).

Die Dokumente für den OPEN Call sowie das ABSTRACT-Template
stehen bereits zum Herunterladen (siehe unten) zur Verfügung.
