The EnviroInfo 2010 is an international and interdisciplinary conference and a meeting place for experts and practitioners on leading environmental ICT technologies to make the world a better place for living. It aims to report about state-of-the-art applications of ICT as well as newest developing trends in the field of environmental informatics. It will cover cross-cutting topics like applications of geographical information systems, environmental modelling and simulation, risk management, material and energy flow management, climate change, tools and database applications and other aspects with regard to the main topic ICT and the environment. The EnviroInfo 2010 conference will have a special focus on the topic “Integration of Environmental Information in Europe”.
EnviroInfo 2010 cooperates with the Intergeo 2010 Conference on Geodesy, Geoinformation and Landmanagement. We will share one conference day, Wednesday 6th at Köln Messe in Cologne.
The EnviroInfo 2010 is the continuation of a long tradition of conferences and workshops within the field of environmental informatics starting in 1986. Due to the interdisciplinary character of environmental informatics one important goal of this conference is to bring experts from industry, research and education together to exchange ideas and proposals for solution of urgent problems and needs in the field on environmental protection and its IT-assistance. Furthermore students are asked to join this conference to get first experiences with this outstanding community.
The conference language is English. A continuous conference workshop track in German will be installed for contributions on subjects of specific interest for German speaking countries.
