GISRUK is the largest academic conference in Geographic Information Science in the UK. Since 1993, GISRUK has attracted international researchers and practitioners in GIS and cognate fields, including geography, computer science, data science, and urban planning to share the latest advances in spatial computing and analysis. This year the conference is hosted by Cardiff University.

The conference will cover all aspects of theoretical and applied geographical information science, but this year we will also have a focus on aspects of the COVID19 pandemic, with papers which cover ways of mapping the spread of the disease and spatially analysing the variation in its impact on such things as mobility, social inequalities and the outcomes of interventions such as stay at home orders. Two of our keynote speakers will also present research related to the COVID19 pandemic.

This online event is completely free to attend but registration is essential. Registered participants will receive joining details via email before the event.
