MoreThe next International Cartographic Conference will be in Durban, South Africa, 10-16 August, 2003. People in the area of geographic information and display are invited to submit abstracts (300-500 words) to the Local Organizing Committee. Abstracts must be received by 31 October, 2002.
Any U.S. participant who wants to apply for funding for the conference from the U.S. National Committee (USNC) for ICA must send a copy of the abstract BOTH to the Durban Local Organizing Committee AND to the U.S. National Committee. E-mail, mail and fax are all acceptable.
Local Organizing Committee, ICC 2003
USNC-ICA
Students submitting abstracts and applying for funding are expected to
submit an application to the ESRI/IGIF fund (http://www.igif.org) as well
as to the USNC-ICA to maximize chances of an award, to maximize the amount
of awards, and to spread USNC dollars that may be available. Funding by
USNC is contingent upon the success of grant applications and fundraising efforts. USNC made travel awards to over 30 participants in the last ICC (Beijing 2001), with young scholars receiving higher numbers of awards and
higher levels of funding. Awards ranged from $650-$1500 for Beijing. We anticipate higher high-end awards for Durban.
The full Call for Papers for ICC 2003 appears on the web page of the Local
Organizing Committee (www.icc2003.gov.za). A backup copy can be found at
http://www.msu.edu/~olsonj/ica/papers.htm.
We are especially concerned
about reaching students, scholars with PhDs within the last 10 years,
minorities, persons with disabilities and women.
