"Call for Bids to Host the
12th International Symposium on Digital Earth
The
International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) is a world-leading
non-governmental international organization devoted to the development
of Digital Earth technologies and to exploring the vision of Digital
Earth in our changing world. ISDE is a participating organization of the
Group on Earth Observations, and an affiliated member of the
International Science Council. ISDE is calling for bids to organize and
host the 12th International
Symposium on Digital Earth in 2021, and hereby invites all interested
organizations to submit letters of intent and/or bid proposals to host
the event. ISDE encourages our members, as well as other organizations
or institutions, to consider this hosting opportunity, and also to
disseminate this information to organizations that might be interested.
The final closing date for all bids is August 31, 2019.
The
International Symposium on Digital Earth, a conference series held by
the ISDE biennially in even-numbered years, provides an academic
platform for state-of-the-art discussion and in-depth dissemination of
all the broad research fields related to Digital Earth. The ISDE
symposia are widely recognized as the most significant conferences for
scientific exchange in these research fields, including Earth
observation technology, geospatial information science, geo-data
intensive research, virtual reality and visualization of the Earth, Big
Earth Data, the digital economy, citizen sensors, Digital Earth and UN
SDGs. The symposium is an excellent opportunity for scientists,
decision-makers, engineers and educators to consider the latest
theories, principles and frameworks in Digital Earth. In the past, the
Digital Earth symposia have been high-quality venues for promoting an
expanded consensus on the Digital Earth concept, and for fostering the
international development of Digital Earth.
Over
the past 20 years, the symposia have been held in China (1999, 2009),
Canada (2001, 2015), the Czech Republic (2003), Japan (2005), the United
States (2007), Malaysia (2013) and Australia (2011, 2017). The 11th International Digital Earth Symposium will be held in Florence, Italy on September 24-27, 2019.
