The Davis Center is sponsoring a new prize for student and faculty mapping work related to
Russia and/or Eurasia.
Please see http://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/news_events/2012gis.html for details. Note
that the deadline of March 22nd is fast approaching.
The competition will be held as part of the Center for Geographic Analysis’ Fisher prize,
and its annual conference showcasing how GIS methods can be used in a regional context.
(This year’s conference, scheduled for March 29-30 in Tsai Auditorium, focuses on Africa,
and will provide some examples of interdisciplinary, collaborative research projects.) The
conference will feature brief talks, panel discussions, live demos, and hands-on training
sessions. Case studies will be presented from a variety of disciplines, including health,
demography, government, geology, geography, biology, archaeology, economics, architecture,
and art history.
A poster and video session showcasing GIS/mapping work will be held in conjunction with
the conference. All registered attendees are invited to participate.
