Call for Papers:Surveying and Geomatics Educators Society 2022 Summer Virtual Conference
August 2, 3, 4, 2022
The Surveying and Geomatics Educators Society (SaGES) is pleased to issue a call for papers for presentation at the upcoming 1st Virtual Conference to be held online August 2-4, 2022.SaGES promotes the effective teaching and learning of surveying, mapping, geomatics, and other spatially related education. SaGES is a forum where academia, industry and government work together to exchange ideas, promote common causes, and provide opportunities to improve the teaching and learning of geomatics (http://geosages.org/).This is a call for papers only. We will be sending you information on fees and registration soon.Look for special offers on fees for attendees who have not attended a SaGES conference before, and for graduate and undergraduate students.Practitioners and other interested individuals are most welcome; this is not intended to be a conference for academics and teachers only.
Abstracts & Papers
Non-peer-reviewed abstracts and papers related to surveying and geomatics education are of interest for this event. Paper presentations should be designed for 15 minutes, with five minutes for questions. This schedule will be strictly held and moderators will enforce this policy.See topic list below for five-minute lightning talks; we welcome abstracts for these also. For these talks, they will be grouped to best fit schedules and 5-10-minute Q&A periods will be opened up at the end of each group of lightning talks. Even though these talks are listed under two topics, there may be more than two groups of lightning talks if the numbers warrant.
