GI Forum SS 2013

What is the GI-Forum?

GI-Forum is taking place every tuesday from 12:15 to 13:45 during the term in the Seminar-room (3rd floor) at the Institute for Geoinformatics (Weseler Straße 253, 48151 Münster). The Forum is open to the public and all interested are welcome!

In these open sessions we discuss different topics from GI Science, predominantly in the form of presentations. There is always enough time for discussions and a drink or snack afterwards.

Among speakers from our institute we regularly invite speakers from academia, industry or policy, to talk about ongoing research and practice topics.
