Zurich, Switzerland will be the host city of the sixth GIScience,
continuing a highly successful series of conferences that commenced in
2000, and which regularly attracts over 200 international researchers.
GIScience 2010 aims to bring together scientists from academia,
industry,
and government to discuss the state-of-the-art in geographic
information
science, and explore emerging research directions. The conference
focuses
on basic research findings across all sectors of the field, and pure
application papers are discouraged. The conference has two (refereed)
submission tracks: full papers and extended abstracts. Pre-conference
workshops and tutorials (Sep. 14) and the main conference (Sep. 15-17)
will take place at the University of Zurich-Irchel campus, featuring
state-of-the-art conference facilities within a park-like setting.

The conference site is located only 20 minutes from both downtown and
Zurich Airport, and is easily accessible through public transport.

The Second Circular, including the call for papers and more detail on
the
conference structure, accommodation, and registration will be sent out
by
the end of August, 2009. Note also the conference website, which will
be
updated on a regular basis:
