The event aims to put forward the notion of place in geographical information science. We accept short paper submissions, which will be published with separate DOIs online in high-quality proceedings. In addition, we are encouraging submitting proposals for 1?2-hours mini workshops. We are looking forward to your submissions, and to exciting discussions in December! Best wishes, Franz-Benjamin Mocnik and René Westerholt PS: Please spread the word to your personal networks and forward this call to anyone for whom it might be interesting and relevant. PPS: Last year we had to cancel the event due to COVID but are glad to catch up on it this year. ========================================================================= # PLATIAL'21 Symposium on Platial Information Science Motto: Places across cultures 15?17 December 2021, online Hosted by the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands Short Papers (3?5 pages) Mini Workshops (1?2-hours each) Submission Deadline: 14 October 2021 Keynotes by Bill Palmer and Peter-Paul Verbeek (see below for details) http://platial21.platialscience.net ========================================================================= # PLATIAL'21 Symposium on Platial Information Science People ?live? and constitute places every day through recurrent practices and experience. Both agency and experience are rooted in cultural embeddings that vary across different world regions. The complexity this entails requires researchers to investigate the concept of place through a variety of cultural lenses. The formal representation of place in GIScience is no exception and can only be successfully addressed if we consider geographical, psychological, linguistical, sociological, cognitive, and other perspectives taking account of cultural specificities. How can we represent not only place but also its cultural aspects? How can we be more inclusive when conceptualising place to also include marginalised communities? Is it even possible to find structures of place that extend beyond cultural anchoring? These and other related questions will be addressed at PLATIAL'21 and have led us to this year's motto ?Places across cultures?. We hope to bring together place-based researchers from different disciplines to discuss the current state of theoretical and applied platial research. We welcome submissions of papers on the following topics: * Which approaches of place representation exist in various disciplines? * How can existing theoretical approaches of platial representation from   different disciplines be integrated towards a unified notion of place? * How can we move forward the integration of platial information with   GIS? * What are suitable strategies for addressing the subjectivity inherent   to platial information? * What roles should uncertainty and fuzziness play in platial theories? * In which ways can places be visualised, in particular at multiple   scales? * How can we demonstrate the practical usefulness of place-based   information by means of examples and in comparison to spatial   information? * (Further topics are welcome if they fit the overall theme of this   symposium.) ## IMPORTANT DATES 14 October 2021       Submission deadline for both short papers and                       mini workshops 15?17 December 2021   PLATIAL'21 Symposium ## VENUE Online / hosted by the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands ## HOW TO CONTRIBUTE We are seeking high-quality contributions on the topics proposed. For this, we offer two different formats: compact mini workshops possibly accompanied by citable, joint recap papers; and short papers that will be orally presented in the regular track of the symposium. ### SHORT PAPERS Regular short papers submitted to PLATIAL'21 should not exceed 3?5 pages, including abstract, ?gures, and references. Your papers should be prepared in adherence to the guidelines found in the Overleaf template:   http://platialscience.net/overleaf21 Submission of your paper (i.e., the PDF) should be done via EasyChair:   http://platialscience.net/easychair21 We will only approach you upon paper acceptance to ask for submission of all finalized files (including the compiled PDF, LaTeX source files, figures). All submissions will be reviewed double-blind by at least two members of the programme committee. Therefore, please prepare your documents in anonymized form (see instructions given in the template and on the submissions page on the PLATIAL website). Submissions prepared using a Microsoft Word-based template are also possible:   http://platialscience.net/word21 Please note, however, that this format entails a higher downstream (unpaid) editorial effort for both authors and organisers, as ultimately all contributions are to appear in a single collected volume. Submissions using our LaTeX template are therefore strongly encouraged. ### MINI WORKSHOPS PLATIAL'21 offers the innovative format of mini workshops. Being concise and focused, these will allow peers to discuss specialised cutting-edge topics in a laid-back, intimate atmosphere. The idea is to have 1?2-hours sessions dedicated to specific platial topics. These sessions will be prepared, organised, and conducted by the workshop convenors who proposed the respective sessions. The format can be chosen freely and purposefully to allow for fruitful and creative interaction. For each mini workshop, the results achieved will ideally then lead to a joint paper of all attendees that will be given a suitable deadline for submission after the event. These contributions will undergo the same rigorous peer review by members of the programme committee as regular short papers. If you are interested in proposing a mini workshop on your topic of choice, please submit an informal one-page proposal in PDF format to platial21 at platialscience.net by 14 October. You may want to get in touch with the organisers prior to submission in case of any questions about topics you want to propose. We especially encourage early-career researchers to take this opportunity to discuss their ongoing research. ### LONG-TERM CITABILITY We value your contributions! Therefore, your work should be visible and sustainably citable long-term after the symposium. All short paper contributions will be published online with individual DOIs as ZENODO Symposium Proceedings, an outlet funded by the European Commission to support publication of high-quality proceedings.
