Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to the first RAM Colloquium:


      Toward a social datum in GIScience using the notion of place


          Dr Albert Acedo (University of Lisbon); Friday, 6 November, 3
          pm CET / 2 pm GMT / 9 am EST, virtual event

Registration via (the link to the Zoom session will shared with all 
registered participants closer to the event): 
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/toward-a-social-datum-in-giscience-using-the-notion-of-place-tickets-125496406129

The RAM Colloquium is a forum for discussing the latest research in the 
field of geospatial information science. Invited speakers will report on 
their recent and ongoing work and provide an outlook on major lines and 
challenges ahead in their respective fields. This time, Dr Albert Acedo 
from the University of Lisbon will deliver a talk entitled "Toward a 
social datum in GIScience using the notion of place". You will find the 
abstract below and attached. Do not hesitate to forward this message and 
the attached PDF invitation to your PhD students, colleagues, and 
anybody who might be interested in the talk and discussion.

We look forward to lively participation and discussion!
René Westerholt and the RAM team

*Abstract:*

When social researchers talk about place, they mainly refer to contexts, 
environments, and social artefacts derived from the cognitive idea of 
home, neighbourhood, town, city or country. Conversely, scholars from 
Geographical Information Science (GIScience) often quantitatively read 
the place-based knowledge through user-generated data embedded in 
administrative boundaries and other geometric representations. This 
epistemological disconnection is nourishing the lack of a unified, 
combined, targeted agenda among related disciplines to formalise 
place-based knowledge. This talk presents an overview of Dr Acedo?s 
research developed during the last five years in moving closer social 
and GIScience fields in the urban context in order to unleash the 
benefits of formalising and combining both. Moreover, he will discuss 
his perspective on the big lines ahead to move the topic of place 
further in GIScience and adjoining areas towards a holistic approach. 
The understanding of the place-based urban landscape could reveal novel 
perspectives and mechanisms to advance the knowledge of key 
socio-spatial urban processes and challenges, and hence provide 
theoretical end empirical frameworks for the potential development of 
place-based research in other academic disciplines.

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to the next talk in this term's RAM 
Colloquium Series:


      Geosocial analytics ? Frontiers in analysing human-generated
      spatial data


          Prof. Dr Bernd Resch (University of Salzburg); Friday, 4
          December, 11 am CET / 10 am GMT, virtual event

*Abstract:*

Due to the wide-spread use of disruptive digital technologies like 
mobile phones, cities have transitioned from data-scarce to data-rich 
environments. A variety of large-scale human-generated datasets, 
wearable sensing technologies and geo-social networks have emerged that 
have the potential to help us in gaining a better understanding of 
geospatial and spatio-temporal processes. As a result, the field of 
GIScience is being reshaped and challenged to develop innovative and 
adequate methods for data analysis, knowledge generation and information 
visualisation. This talk outlines opportunities and innovative methods 
(including machine learning approaches) of data-driven analysis for 
human-generated data to generate new insights into geospatial social 
phenomena.
