"Applied Geoinformatics for Sustainable Development", June 1-3, 2020

TIIAME, Tashkent, Uzbekistan  

The annual ‘GIS in Central Asia’ Conference - GISCA 2020 registration for this conference scheduled for June 1-3 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The main objectives of this English language conference are to bring together GIS academics, researchers and practitioners from Central Asian and other countries and to encourage international cooperation and knowledge exchange in GIS education.

In 2020, GISCA is focused on the theme "Applied Geoinformatics for Sustainable Development". 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.

• 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.

GISCA 2020 is being organized by the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME) within the Erasmus+ DSinGIS project, jointly with the Austria-Central Asia Centre for GIScience (ACA*GIScience) and the Alba Regia Technical Faculty, Óbuda University, Hungary. It will be conducted in conjunction with the International Conferences “InterCarto. InterGIS 26” and “SilkGIS 4” (GIS for the Silk Road) with support from the Trimble International, GeoTwo and the Research Center for Ecology and Environment of Central Asia (RCEECA CAS).
