* Call for participation: Summer school on Gamifying Spatial Collaboration
2014*



To mark the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the Institute for
Geoinformatics (IfGI) at the University of Münster is organizing a summer
school to be held from the *11th to the 17th* *of June 2014*, subsequent to
the anniversary event itself (June 10th to 11th). *The scientific
symposium*of the anniversary, which will be held on the 11th at the
Münster Palace,
is also the first day of the summer school. The goals of the summer school
will be to explore both the theory and practice of gamification and spatial
collaboration in geoinformatics, and how
 we can move towards applying gamification to enhance collaborative data
acquisition in geoinformatics.



*Course content*

The summer school will take a close look at the opportunities and
challenges that arise through combining geoinformatic technology with
gamification for spatial collaboration. Two particular questions addressed
during the school will be: How can gamification improve geoinformation
technology? and, What are the opportunities offered by gamification to
enhance collaborative data acquisition and the gathering of feedback? The
summer school will consist of a 6-day program at the intersection of
spatial collaboration
, gamification and geoinformation technology. It will be held in the
stimulating and creative environment of the Institute for Geoinformatics.
The school is aimed primarily at graduate students, and we anticipate
around 30 attendees.




*Course program*

The six days of the course will comprise two full-day tutorials, one on
gamification and one on spatial collaboration; a social event; a hackathon
and field work day; a tutorial day on combining gamification and spatial
collaboration tools; and an interactive session on future developments. All
tutorials will be given in English.
Days will finish with social events including a tour of the city, a summer
school dinner, a party, and a bar game. The sequence of the six days will
be:

1.       (June 12th): Spatial collaboration

2.      (June 13th): Gamification

3.      (June 14th): Social event

4.      (June 15th): Field work and hackathon

5.      (June 16th): Gamifying spatial collaboration

6.      (June 17th): Future perspectives



*Lecturers*

Prof. Dr. Barbara Grüter, Gangs of Bremen, Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science, University of Applied Sciences, Bremen

Dr. Peter Kiefer, Geoinformation Engineering, ETH Zurich

Kate Chapman, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (H.O.T.), Washington D.C.


* Venue and Accommodation*

The summer school will take place in the lecture rooms of the new GEO 1
building, Heisenbergstraße 2, D-48149 Münster (
http://www.uni-muenster.de/Geoinformatics/en/). Fees include
catering, lunch,
and
a gala dinner and
amount to 200 EURO per student. Accommodation needs to be paid separately.
Further information is available on the website.
We strongly recommend renting a bike from the Radstation Münster (
http://www.radstation-ms.de/), located directly in front of the main
station, in order to facilitate mobility between
the
various summer school events. In case you need any help
or assistance
, please contact us.



*Application process*

Interested people should submit a statement of motivation of about 500
words, briefly describing how the summer school might contribute to or
enrich their own work.

Application deadline:
*15 April 2014*

Notification of acceptance:
*30 April 2014*


After the notification of acceptance, participants will be contacted with
registration details. Attendees
are encouraged
 to present their own work or an idea related to the summer school in the
form of a poster at the end of the symposium on the 11th of June.
