Booking is now open for the EDINA Geoforum event, which will be held on 20 June 2013 at the Congress Centre in London.

Geoforum is a free all day event aimed at lecturers, researchers and support staff who promote and support the use of Geoservices at their institution. The day will inform you of current geospatial developments at EDINA and the wider community. It will also be an opportunity for you to give us feedback on the services we are providing and discuss geospatial issues with the team.

It will be an all-day event with workshops, hands-on demonstrations and talks showing you what we are working on. We are very keen to hear your views about the next generation of Digimap services, so we would like you to join us and share your ideas.

Reasons for Attending:

* Get up-to-date with all the latest geo-datasets and services available from EDINA.
* Find out how site reps at other institutions are promoting and supporting the use of geo-services.
* Find out about how you can use OpenSource and Mobile technologies with EDINA data.
* Meet representatives from data providers such as Ordnance Survey, British Geological Survey and Landmark Solutions.

Shelley Mosco will be the keynote speaker. Shelley is a practising landscape architect and senior lecturer in GIS at the University of Greenwich in the School of Architecture, Design and Construction. She is also involved in research of living walls and green roofs as part of the school's Sustainable Landscapes Research Group.

Provisional programme details and registration for the Geoforum can be found on the EDINA website.

June 21, 2013 - June 23, 2013
Location : Berlin, Germany

WhereCamp Berlin is an unconference addressed to everyone who is passionate about geographical things. Within 2 days participants present and bring to discussion topics about maps, social cartography, augmented reality, funding, projects and art focused around location. We invite you to take part at app demos, mapping sessions, hacking and debates about geo stuff. The unconference was inspired by FooCamps and BarCamps and comes in the great tradition of many other WhereCamps around the world.

The idea is to start with a blank program and you post sessions and talk about whatever location topic you want to. Some people put together a great presentation, others host debates and discussion – it’s up to you.

As much as the Renaissance movement profoundly affected European intellectual life, its influence felt in art, literature, politics, science, religion, etc., so is INSPIRE influencing the way in which information for managing our planet can be shared and served.

Alike the Renaissance movement, INSPIRE is slowly, but steadily spreading over Europe and beyond, with on the way, its principles being debated and implemented.

The aim of this year's INSPIRE Conference is therefore to take stock of this progress. To further exchange views and experiences on how INSPIRE is meeting past and emerging challenges and needs. To identify new opportunities and to finally, reflect collectively on how INSPIRE can further evolve to maximise its benefits for society.

The INSPIRE Conference 2013 will take place from Sunday 23rd - Thursday 27th June 2013 in Florence, Italy.

Please visit the INSPIRE website for conference updates and registration.

The digital world increasingly collides with the physical environment.
The built environment is increasingly monitored, managed and constructed using integrated data systems. Live data feeds provide 24/7 monitoring of energy use, and movement tracking across our cities.

BIM is gaining ground as a response to developing buildings and infrastructure that are problem free, better matched to purpose and more efficient.

This conference will be an ideal place for you to showcase your views on the integration of BIM and big data into higher education and teaching, and to engage with leading international and UK thinkers.

You will be given the chance to visit the annual Bartlett Summer Show and network with students and colleagues in Architecture, Construction, Energy and Environment, Engineering, Facility Management, Planning, Project Management, Real Estate, Spatial analysis and Urban Design.

Full details of the event schedule can be found through the link below.

Cost: £30 (£60 + dinner)
