ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE ON GEOINFORMATICS – GI 2020

“Supporting sustainable development by GIST”, October 3-5, 2020

TIIAME, Tashkent, Uzbekistan

The Annual International Scientific Conference on GeoInformatics – GI 2020 has opened registration for this conference scheduled for October 3-5 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The main objectives of this conference are orientate UZ scientists of Socio-Ecological Systems into interdisciplinary geospatial doctoral studies and research; and Improve involvement of UZ academic staff and doctoral candidates in geoinformation sciences into world-wide scientific community, strengthening internationalization of HEIs/RIs. 

In 2020, GI is focused on the theme “Supporting sustainable development by GIST“. Geographic Information Science as a conceptual foundation, Geoinformatics as the methodology and GIS as software technologies are powerful instruments for linking information across different sources by location. This is exactly what is needed to successfully manage our environments and natural resources, our economies and ultimately our societies. 

Key themes (additional themes and sessions are welcome) of the conference are:

• GIS for regional Sustainable development
• Development of Spatial Data Infrastructure
• GIS for management in the field of environmental protection
• GIS for the prevention and elimination of emergency situations
• GIS for water resources management
• GIS in agriculture
• New trends and technologies in geodesy, cadastre and land management
• Professional and farther education in the field of geoinformatics
• GIS in Hydrotechnical Construction and Melioration
• GIS in Mechanization and Automatization of Agriculture and Water Resources.

GI 2020 is being organized by the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME) within the Erasmus+ DSinGIS project, jointly with the following Project Partners:

• Supreme Attestation Commission at the Cabinet Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan (SAC)
