Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the 13th edition of the EC GI & GIS
Workshops will take place in Porto, Portugal, 4 - 6 July 2007.
http://www.ec-gis.org/Workshops/13ec-gis/

With the agreement on the text of the INSPIRE directive the focus of
this year's workshop is on contribution of SDIs on environmental
analyses and modelling.

The objectives of this year's workshop are to:

    * Identify the contribution of SDIs for environmental analysis,
      monitoring, and modelling; environmental protection, natural
      hazards prediction and mitigation, and other applications areas
      including water, soil, land use and land cover change, forestry,
      and atmospheric pollution;
    * Review the current state of progress of the INSPIRE legislation,
    * Offer an opportunity to the INSPIRE Drafting Teams to report on
      the development of the INSPIRE Implementing Rules
    * Further our understanding of the implementation challenges, costs,
      and benefits of SDIs at national, regional, and local level
    * Identify key issues and opportunities for European SDI projects.

The Workshop will be organised through a series of plenary sessions
addressing common policy issues, and parallel sessions focusing in
particular on applications / implementations of SDIs, and research issues

With this in mind this call for papers envisages submissions for the
following topic areas

    * SDIs for environmental analysis, monitoring, and modelling;
      environmental protection, natural hazards prediction and
      mitigation, and other applications areas including water, soil,
      land use and land cover change, forestry, and atmospheric pollution;
    * SDI Implementations: We are particularly interested in models for
      coordinating multiple stakeholders (public/private sector)
    * European funded projects: Lessons learnt and opportunities. We
      will hold a round table discussion on the synergies between the
      projects and opportunities ahead
    * Social and economic impacts of implementing SDIs

We are particularly interested in accounts of what works, and what does
not work, what are perceived benefits for policy, public administration,
citizens and the private sector. Proposals will be evaluated by the
programme committee and those accepted will be included in the on-line
conference proceedings.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is the 3rd March 2007.

Full papers can be submitted for peer review to the International
Journal of Spatial Data Infrastructures Research (IJSDIR) for
publication in a special EC GI & GIS Workshop issue.

Best regards,
Karen Fullerton
