The Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship, the Center for Research Computing, and the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society invite you to submit proposals to present at our annual GIS Day symposium.
GIS Day is an annual celebration of geospatial technology and its power to transform and better our lives. It’s an opportunity to discover and understand the benefits of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and showcase its uses in our community.
The symposium will be held on November 17 at Hesburgh Library Room 246. The event will include workshops, lightning presentations, and reception.
In a brief presentation, either a talk or poster (virtual or in-person), demonstrate how GIS contributes to your research and projects that are making a difference in our community. Presentations should be related to GIS in some way (i.e., tools, data, visualization), but do not need to be directly methodological.
GIS Day at Notre Dame is open to the entire Notre Dame community, regardless of your discipline. See all previous presenters here.
Please submit a brief abstract with a title and all author affiliation(s) to matthew.sisk@nd.edu by November 1. Visit our GIS Day website for more information.
