FOSS4G 2021

Academic Track

Virtual Conference ONLINE

27 Sep - 02 Oct 2021
Buenos Aires, Argentina

FOSS4G is the acronym for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. It is the OSGeo Foundation global and annual gathering since its inception in 2004. Organization of FOSS4G starts roughly 2 years in advance as the venue rotates around the world when a call for bids is sent out. Next year the event will be held in Buenos Aires.

More pieces of information about the Conference can be found here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G .

It is worth noting that the last two Conferences saw the attendance of almost 1000 people, therefore a good number for a relatively young conference.

Organizers of the Academic Track will be WG IV/4 of ISPRS and OSGeo (a MoU exists between ISPRS and OSGeo). The Academic Track we will focus on applications which are relevant to ISPRS and characterized by Open Source and Open Data. It will be a shared track of discussion among researchers belonging to ISPRS, OSGeo and possibly other sisters organizations (ICA, AGU, FIG, etc).
