We now live in an increasingly hybrid physical-virtual world enabled by modern technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has further prompted human activities in virtual space (e.g., zoom meetings, online shopping, online teaching, telehealth, etc.) and modified human activities in physical space. These changes in virtual space and in physical space often are intertwined with each other that create a hybrid physical-virtual world. Furthermore, changes taking place in this hybrid physical-virtual world have significant implications to major challenges in human societies around the world ranging from climate change to social justice. Is GIScience/GIS ready to handle these challenges in today's hybrid physical-virtual world? This symposium will discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by GIScience in this increasingly hybrid physical-virtual world.
The 2023 Symposium will feature workshops, panel sessions, paper and poster presentations, and interactive working sessions. We invite you to submit an abstract for a paper or poster session. Students are especially encouraged to submit abstracts for lightning talks and the poster competition, and accepted student abstracts will be eligible for complimentary registration.
