#GIScience2025 will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand, on 26-29 August 2025 giscience2025.org

The GIS Research UK (GISRUK) 2025 Call for Abstracts is live! This year's theme is Process in Geographic Information Science, re-thinking the link between the patterns we see and what we represent on our computer screens. See you in Bristol April 23-25! gisruk.org/gisruk-2025

Join us online if you can! The in-person space is limited but we would love to have more people join remotely, especially for our international colleagues. With two Nobel Prizes in AI this year, it is timely to discuss what we can do in Urban Analytics to push AI forward.

IDEAMAPS Network team members will be leading several events at the World Urban Forum in Cairo, Egypt from 4 to 8 November 2024. Here’s the lineup of our events ⬇️ linkedin.com/posts/ideamaps… #WUF12 #ItAllStartsAtHome #ItAllStartsLocally #ItAllStartsTogether #ItAllStartsNow

The #TuringUrbanAnalytics meeting University of Glasgow today featured a range of lightning talks, workshops and a keynote from Prof Claire Miller from GALLANT. The event continues with a talk from Prof Seth Bullock from University of Bristol on 'AI for Collective Intelligence'. #UrbanAnalytics

We're currently looking to recruit a Research Associate on the GALLANT project based at UBDC. The job requires expertise in data-intensive research methods and familiarity with social and/or ecological indicators. jobs.ac.uk/job/DKK242/res…

📢 Call for abstracts for #ICUC12 is open! #Submit your abstract via: icuc12.eu The abstract submission #deadline is 31 January 2025, 13:00 CET. See you next year in #Rotterdam

New year, new studies? UBDC's MSc programmes in both urban and transport analytics are designed to equip the next generation of researchers with high-level, sought-after skills and practical experience. Full details: ow.ly/rTaP50UF9W3 #UrbanAnalytics #TransportAnalytics

🌍 🚀With European Space Agency funding, UBDC is working with SatVu to develop the Heat Loss Index - a new tool to identify buildings with high energy wastage. The HLI will improve retrofitting strategies and help cities meet net-zero goals. Full details: ow.ly/S1Yf50UPfPO

Great to work with SatVu to test the feasibility of designing a heat loss index from the newly available high res satellite images!

‼️Excited to be accepting abstracts w/ Gijs W for our session on Spatial Methods for Spatial Populations at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Annual Conference! We are looking forward to accepting work showcasing innovative uses of spatial data and spatial methods! 💫🌎 DM for more details ✨

UBDC study in the journal #EnergyAndBuildings reviews the evidence from across Europe on the impact of #EnergyEfficiency on house prices. It shows that more efficient properties are not only cheaper to run, they are also worth more when you come to sell: ow.ly/Eciq50UWILa

Human-made materials now outweigh natural materials on Earth. In a UBDC webinar on 27 Feb, Prof Zhenfeng Shao explores how we can better track materials used in cities to measure their impact, and find innovative ways to reduce #CarbonEmissions. Register: eventbrite.co.uk/e/high-resolut…

UBDC researchers have cleaned and processed raw traffic flow data from Glasgow City Council's open API portal to create an analysis-ready dataset which offers new insights into how traffic moves through the city’s streets. #TrafficFlow #Glasgow Full Story: ubdc.ac.uk/news/glasgows-…

After almost 2 years, finally this global health project is on BMJ Global Health Although #Covid is gone for several years, we collected vaccine sites during the pandemic in 54 countries/regions and looked into their accessibility, including LMICs and HICs

Great to have the Garlic Connect app finally launched!!! Thanks for the generous support from the multidisciplinary IAA.

🌆Exciting Update from #ICUC12! We are thrilled to announce that 1,024 abstracts have been accepted! 🎉 This incredible response highlights the growing global commitment to advancing urban climate research and solutions. Stay tuned for more updates, and see you in Rotterdam! 🏙️

Great to have this collaboration with Yanjia Cao Huanfa Chen to explore the vaccine access in 54 countries in the world. Vaccine desert exists in both high and low income countries.

Early risers checking out the beautiful cherry blossoms. 🌸

This week, the #IamAPHRC IDEAMAPS Project team participated in a City-Wide Validation of five critical urban models shaping the future of our cities and communities: Morphological Informality, Road Access Deprivation, Flood Hazard, Emergency Obstetric Care Access, and Accumulated
