The Twelfth International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience) will be held in Leeds, United Kingdom, on 12-15 September 2023 (with workshops and welcome reception on 12 September). It is being hosted by the University of Leeds in collaboration with the University of Glasgow. The conference proceedings of full and short papers will be published in LIPIcs, the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics series.

Full details:  (https://giscience2023.github.io).

We are currently encouraging full paper submissions (due 30th Jan 2023) and workshop/tutorial proposals (due 16th Jan 2023).

We also particularly welcome submissions from researchers from the Global South and lower- or middle-income countries, and we anticipate being able to provide financial support for conference attendance for accepted papers.

Papers should be submitted to Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=giscience2023

Workshop proposals should be sent to Lex Comber (a.comber@leeds.ac.uk)

Full submission instructions are on the conference website (https://giscience2023.github.io).

Full papers will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee. High-quality submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and published in LIPIcs, the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics series. Manuscripts must describe original work that has neither been published before, nor is currently under review elsewhere. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed fifteen pages (including title, figures, and references) in the required layout.

We are also seeking proposals for full- or half-day Workshops and Tutorials on specialized topics or on emergent research fields that will be of interest to the GIScience community. Workshops on a specific topic can be used for example to provide opportunities to present work in progress, with time allocated for discussion and participation, and tutorials can be used to address a single topic in depth or provide specific training in a new technique.
