UCGIS 2004 Winter Meeting Focuses on Homeland Security

by Will Craig
Policy and Legislation Committee

 UCGIS will hold its 2004 Winter Meeting in Washington, DC, during February 5-6. This year’s congressional program will be dedicated to the theme of homeland security. The Policy and Legislation Committee has selected seven presentations, from a large number of outstanding proposals, for this event to showcase the role of GI Science in addressing various homeland security issues. These presentations will report homeland security research activities at a number of member institutions that are supported by federal funding. The Congressional program will be followed by briefings to UCGIS delegates by federal agencies involved in GI Science. Discussion will center on grant opportunities in federal governments to support GI Science research.
