EGU 2020 Sessions – Call for Abstracts

EGU 2020 Sessions – Call for Abstracts

52°North invites abstract submissions for two EGU 2020 Sessions

The EGU 2020 General Assembly provides a forum for scientists, especially early career researchers, to present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. 52°North convenes two sessions and invites abstract submissions for both.

1. The EGU 2020 Session “Integration and Interoperability of Environmental Data Sets for Spatial Data Analytics” addresses demands on analytics concerning heterogeneous data sets across the globe to address global challenges.

2 The EGU 2020 Session “Event-driven Concepts for Enhancing Research Data & Processing Infrastructures” aims to collect use cases of push-based data delivery flows, implementations, lessons learned, experience with emerging technologies enabling pub-sub patterns and more.

Abstract submission deadline is January 15, 2020. Submit now!

Prof. Dr. Krzysztof Janowicz joins 52°North Advisory Board

Prof. Dr. Krzysztof Janowicz joins 52°North Advisory Board

52°North’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Board welcomes newest member Prof. Dr. Krzysztof Janowicz from the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.

Prof. Dr. Krzysztof Janowicz is a full professor for Geographic Information Science and Geoinformatics at the Geography Department and Co-director of the Center for Spatial Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA . He also chairs the Semantics Community at 52°North. His fields of research include the Geospatial Semantic Web, Linked Data and Ontologies, Geographic Information Retrieval, Location-based Social Media, Spatial Data Science, Social Sensing and Web Science. He also addresses reasoning about similarity, analogy, and context. In a nutshell, he investigates the role of space and time for knowledge representation and organization.

52°North is pleased to have him join and is convinced that 52°North would significantly benefit both from his scientific expertise and network – particularly in the field of Data Science.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

We wish all 52°North software users, contributors, partners and customers happy holidays! 52°North would like to thank you for the successful collaboration in 2019.

Every holiday season we donate to a good cause instead of sending out christmas cards. This year our donation supports the Frauenhaus und Beratung e.V. in Münster.more >
