The Swedish GI organisation ULI Geoforum and GI Norden (the Nordic umbrella organisation for geographic information), in cooperation with its European counterpart EUROGI, are organising a Nordic seminar on Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI).
Time: 3-4 October, 2011
Place: Uppsala Concert and Congress Center, Uppsala, Sweden. Map
The main aim of the seminar is to exchange views and experiences on the current status of SDIs in the Nordic countries as well as to make relevant comparisons with other countries or regions in Europe. The seminar aims for a strong user perspective. Other aims are to share visions for future development of SDI in the Nordic region, to facilitate future cooperation on SDI in the region, also between scientists and users, and to make seminar presentations available for a wider audience.
The seminar will be conducted in English and run parallel to two other tracks within ULI Geoforum´s conference GEOINFO 2011 which takes place 3-5 October.
