The European Forum for Geography and Statistics (EFGS) is pleased to invite you to this year’s conference that will be held in Oslo, Norway. The conference is organized by Statistics Norway and the Norwegian Mapping Authority.
The main event will take place 24th – 25th September.
Pre-conference activities start on 23rd September. This is a day for workshops, demonstrations and training, with a reception at the Oslo City Hall in the evening.
“Trusted data, in a changing Europe” is this year’s conference motto, reflecting the importance of delivering trustworthy and authoritative data and geostatistics for policy- and decisionmakers at all regional levels. One might argue – never more relevant. Geostatistical integration, Spatial Data Infrastructures, new technologies for geostatistical analysis are cornerstones in creating trustworthy data, and central session topics in this year’s conference.
We hope many wish to participate in the choice of a 2- or 3-day program, meeting colleagues and exchanging know-how in both formal and informal settings. We will be located in Oslo city centre, close to many of its attractions, which we will draw upon for our conference dinner, and for other optional activities.
Conference Themes:
- Frameworks in geospatial and statistical communities
- Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs), trusted data in a changing Europe
- GIS software – an “open” question?
- New technologies, unleashing the potential in geospatial and statistical analysis
- Statistical domains where geospatial data are key input (case studies and emerging best practices)
