From August 4th to 9th 2013 the International Geographic Union (IGU) will hold their 2013 Regional Conference at the International Conference Center in Kyoto. There, at the birthplace of the famous Kyoto Protocol, geographers from all over the world (theoretically – personally I expect a majority of fellows from Asia, hence the “Regional” in the conference name) will gather to discuss, exchange and network for 6 days. The theme of the conference is “Traditional Wisdom and Modern Knowledge for the Earth’s Future”, and what country could be better suited for this dialog between old and new than Japan, where this opposition can be observed everywhere and all the time.

Upcoming Event: JpGU Meeting 2013
From May 19th to 24th the Japan Geoscience Union (JPGU, 日本地球惑星科学連合) will be holding their annual meeting at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo. Just like in the past two years I will also be attending and presenting there. This year I will speak in session H-TT09 “GIS”, starting from 14:15 on Monday, May 20th. There will also be presentations by other members of my lab:
Upcoming Event: CSIS Days 2011 (Tokyo)
As I mentioned in one of my previous articles, there will be an interesting GIS-related event happening in (rather: near) Tokyo this week.
Once a year the Center for Spatial Information Science (CSIS, jap. 空間情報科学研究センター) at Tokyo University (jap. 東京大学) holds a conference about all things GIS and SIS called CSIS Days. It is mainly targeted to the Japanese research community, hence most of the presentations are in Japanese, but it has some very interesting people and topics covered. Please find a list of presentations here.
Restating My Graduation Thesis
I have been invited to present my graduation thesis at a Japanese geography and GIS conference called 2011年度 空間情報科学研究センター シンポジウム – CSIS Days 2011 in November. CSIS is the Center for Spatial Information Science (jap. 空間情報科学研究センター) at Tokyo University (jap. 東京大学). Tokyo University is considered to be the No. 1 university in Japan, also CSIS is regarded the top-notch institution for geospatial analysis in Japan, so apparently I’m quite thrilled by the fact that they showed interest in my work.
