Big thanks to all the presenters and participants for a successful 2nd edition of the #GeoExT workshop ECIR2024 in Glasgow! #ecir2024

Exciting work, led by Manuel Baer with Dr Flurina Wartmann and Nora Fagerholm. Analysis of descriptions of everyday landscapes from Window Expeditions links sensory perception, CES and biophysical landscape elements. doi.org/10.1080/263959… UZH Geography UZH Science Language and Space / Sprache und Raum

Im thrilled to see our amazing work with Dr Flurina Wartmann, Nora Fagerholm and GC@UZH on analysing everyday lived landscapes and CES being published 📰🤩 and winning the best presentation award at the #Gamifin24 conference organised by the Gamification Group 🎮🥳 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Exciting news about GIScience in 2025.

📢🚨‼️ Gamification enthusiasts and academic tinkerers: We have extended the submission deadline to May 11th 2024 (AoE) 🗓️ Submit your research involving (augmented) cities and/or communities and join us for an exciting and interesting conference in Tampere! 🤩

Related languages diverge in their conceptualisation of landscape. Although sharing sensory associations, their emotion associations vary. English speakers sure seem to like anthropogenic features compared to French or German speakers! Philipp Striedl GC@UZH doi.org/10.1080/014263…

🚴‍♂️«Leave no one behind»: Erfüllt das Velonetz der Stadt Zürich diesen Anspruch? Wie sicher sich Velofahrende fühlen, beeinflusst stark, ob das Velo genutzt wird. Dies und anderes wird von Tim Fässler in seine Masterarbeit untersucht. blog.geo.uzh.ch/leave-no-one-b… UZH Geography UZH Science

🚲 Wieviel das Velo im Stadtverkehr genutzt wird, hängt stark davon ab, wie sicher sich die Velofahrenden fühlen. Masterstudent Tim Fässler hat das Velonetz der Stadt Zürich unter die Lupe genommen: blog.geo.uzh.ch/leave-no-one-b… UZH Geography UZH Science GC@UZH

Postdoc.Mobility: fellowships for researchers after the doctorate who wish to gain more in-depth knowledge in their field and become more scientifically independent. The new call will be open until 2 August 2024. sohub.io/dvcj

What do we see when we look at landscapes? What does writing tell us about landscape value? And how reproducible are the results? Inhye talked about this at Agile in Glasgow, and the (short) paper is online if you missed the talk.

What form should support for the next generation of scientific careers take? The SNSF is conducting a fundamental review of funding for early-career scientists. It has invited its partners to discuss this key issue for the future of research. sohub.io/g002

The GIScience 2025 call for papers is now out! giscience2025.org/#cfp . Deadline for submissions: Jan 31

Registration is now open for the 5th Spatial Data Science Symposium (#SDSS2024) and the program is live! This is a free and online/distributed event, but there are a limited number of tickets, so register early. sdss2024.spatial-data-science.net
