The Davis Center is sponsoring a new prize for student and faculty mapping work related to Russia and/or Eurasia.
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.
