Hi,
Please

GIScRG
Prize for Best Postgraduate Dissertation or Industrial Research Paper
The GIScience Research Group (GIScRG) of the RGS have established an annual
prize of £100 for the best postgraduate dissertation or industry research paper
on any issue relating to GIS, spatial analysis, spatial modelling or
geocomputation. In both cases, we are looking for a document of approximately
10,000-15,000, which covers significant research in one or more of these areas.
Dissertations should be submitted by the student's department, along with a
copy of the appropriate departmental dissertation regulations. Research papers
or reports should be submitted by the company where the work has taken place,
with a cover letter explaining the context of the work. Confidentiality will be
ensured.
Please submit the work in hard copy to either Linda See or Alison Heppenstall
(contact details below). Please include an email address for the student or
employee. Departments/companies may not submit more than one entry. Closing
date for entries is 14 Dec 2009.
The Geographic Information Science Research Group (GIScRG) encourages
collaborative, cross-disciplinary discussion between researchers, providers and
users of digital geographic information. The objective is to promote the
development and application of theory and knowledge in GI Science to the
collection, processing, analysis and modelling of geographic information within
digital environments such as GIS, cartography, environmental modelling, image
processing and remote sensing.
If you are currently considering Chartered Geographer (GIS) status, you can
join the group by informing the RGS by email. For further details, contact
Linda See or Alison Heppenstall.
