GIScience 2016 continues a highly successful series of conferences started in 2000, highlighting cutting edge research that pushes the boundaries of geospatial analysis. Held every two years and alternating between US and Europe, this is the first time that a venue has been selected in Canada. GIScience conferences regularly brings together about 300 international participants from academia, industry, and government organizations to discuss and advance the state-of-the-art in Geographic Information Science.

The 9th conference will be held in Montreal and co-organized by McGill University, Université Laval and University of Saskatchewan, from September 27 to 30, 2016. The first day will be dedicated to workshops and tutorials and will be followed by the main conference. GIScience conference series has always had a focus on fundamental research themes and questions. GIScience 2016 will strongly welcomes articles and proposals covering emerging topics and fundamental research findings across all sectors of Geographic Information Science.
