EuroGEOSS is hosting a Conference in Madrid January 25-27 2012 with tutorials on January 24. The Conference, entitled "EuroGEOSS, advancing the vision of GEOSS" focuses on facilitating and demonstrating multi-disciplinary solutions to environmental issues facing humanity. The challenge for addressing issues such as climate change, food security or ecosystem sustainability is that they require cross discipline collaboration and the ability to integrate information across scientific domains. These collaborations are difficult because each discipline has its own "language", protocols and formats for communicating within its community and handling data and information.
 
Keynote speakers will address these challenges, including: Gilberto Camara from INPE, Brazil; Ivan Deloatch from FGDC/USGS, United States; and Ian Jackson from OneGeology, United Kingdom. The Conference is focused on enabling better access to information and facilitating multidisciplinary solutions to challenging issues that you and others are addressing. It includes applications presentations as well as information technology.
 
You are invited to participate in the conference and to respond with abstracts to the call for participation
