Conference Submissions

NZGRC 2022

We are pleased to announce that NZGRC 2022 will be held at Massey University, Wellington on 29-30 August 2022, following GeoCart which will be held at the end of the previous week, also in Wellington.

The conference theme is finding our way to an open world. The past two years have seen increased restrictions on physical movement around the world, but also increased need for cross-border, cross-discipline and cross-domain data access, use, analysis and visualisation to address the many challenges facing our world, including COVID19, climate change and increased global inequity.

Geospatial data is essential for adequate management of many of these contemporary challenges, and this conference will bring together geospatial researchers from around New Zealand and the region to share the latest research. We invite researchers at all career levels to get involved, and look forward to seeing you in Wellington in August 2022. The conference is not limited to academic researchers – we also welcome contributions from Crown Research Institutes, government and the private sector, on innovative work that focuses on geospatial aspects of data, analysis, systems or products.

We invite submissions on topics addressing all aspects of geospatial science, GIS and geoinformatics, from geography, surveying, cartography, social science and computing perspectives, including applications, theory and underlying systems aspects.

Particular topics of relevance to the conference theme include:

  • Open geodata, crowdsourcing and VGI;
  • Open source geospatial applications;
  • Geospatial projects and applications that are cross-border, cross-disciplinary, cross-sector, cross-organisational;
  • Addressing the multiple challenges of geospatial data integration to maximise data openness;
  • Geospatial projects and applications that rely on an open approach to data sharing, addressing such topics as covid and climate change.
