AGILE 2024 - Call for Papers
Call for papers for the 27th AGILE conference, Geographic Information Science for a Sustainable Future, Glasgow, UK on 4-7 June 2024.
The Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE) has held annual conferences focused on Geographic Information Science since 1998. The next AGILE 2024 conference will be held in Glasgow, UK, on 4-7 June 2024.
The conference theme “Geographic Information Science for a Sustainable Future” aims to explore the critical role of geographic information science in shaping a sustainable future. Geographic information science is crucial in understanding and managing the complex relationships between the environment, society, and the economy. The theme recognizes the power of spatial data and analysis in informing decision-making processes and promoting sustainable practices across various sectors.
We cordially invite researchers, scholars, practitioners, and professionals in all facets of Geo-Information Science and Technology and their applications to the conference, to present ongoing research, showcase products, network with colleagues from Europe and the rest of the world, and find out about the latest developments in the field. We encourage submissions that encompass innovative research, practical applications, and theoretical contributions in line with the conference theme.

The 27th AGILE Conference will have oral presentation sessions, three keynote sessions, a poster session, a best paper and a best poster session, as well as pre-conference workshops. In this edition of the conference we introduce a Published article track in which we will host presentations of articles already published in journals.
Graduate and PhD students pay lower fees, and gain high visibility within the GI community. In addition, AGILE offers a limited number of travel grants to support students who lack funding.

Submissions
Full-paper track
4000 to 6000-word manuscripts of original and unpublished fundamental scientific research. High-quality scientific submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and published in the AGILE: GIScience Series of Copernicus Publishers.
Short-paper track
2000 to 3000-word manuscripts of original and unpublished research work. High-quality scientific and strategic (industrial and governmental) submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and published in the AGILE: GIScience Series of Copernicus Publishers.
Published-article track
300 to 500-word summary of journal research articles published during the years 2022-2024. Submissions should include a citation and <1 page summary of its relevance to the AGILE conference.
Poster track
500 to 1000-word manuscripts of original scientific and strategic research work. High-quality submissions will be accepted for poster presentations at the conference and provide an exceptional opportunity to stimulate scientific discussions and exchange novel ideas.
Formatting instructions
Full and short papers must be prepared using either the Word Document template or the LaTeX Document template provided at https://www.agile-giscience-series.net/agile-giss-templates.html. Papers must be written in English according to the formatting guidelines, and should not contain any information able to reveal (co)author identity as AGILE 2024 is running a blind review process. Note: Latex recommended editor: Overleaf.
Published-article and poster submissions should use the same template as above.
Submission instructions and publication details
The submission of papers is via EasyChair.
All paper submissions must follow the AGILE Reproducible Paper Guidelines. The accepted paper must have a section describing the data and software availability. The reproducibility chair invites all members of the AGILE community, but especially early career researchers, to self-nominate for the reproducibility committee. Please contact Daniel Nüst (daniel.nuest@uni muenster.de) if you are interested in contributing to increasing transparency, reproducibility and reusability of GIScience research. See the Reproducible AGILE website for more information.
The accepted full and short papers will be published as Open Access Articles in the AGILE: GIScience Seriesof Copernicus Publishers.
Join us at the AGILE Annual Conference as we gather to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge, and drive forward the field of geographic information science for a sustainable future. We look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow and experiencing an enriching conference.
