As we have had a number of requests, we have decided to extend the deadline for submissions in principle until 10 July! If you are researching place, place representations, place information, or similar topics, don't miss this great opportunity to discuss your work with like-minded colleagues from around the world. The following types of contributions are possible: * Short papers (3?5 pages; we offer both a LaTeX and a Word template) * Mini workshop proposals (1 page; any format) The full call for papers is found below. Further submission instructions and details: http://platial23.platialscience.net/submission/ Kind regards, René Westerholt and Franz-Benjamin Mocnik ========================================================================= Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to invite you to the Fourth International PLATIAL'23 Symposium, which will take place in Dortmund, Germany, on 19?21 September 2023! 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 September! Best wishes, René Westerholt and Franz-Benjamin Mocnik PS: Please spread the word to your personal networks and forward this call to anyone for whom it might be interesting and relevant. ========================================================================= # PLATIAL'23 Symposium on Platial Information Science Motto: Transforming Places 19?21 September 2023 Dortmund, Germany Short Papers (3?5 pages) Mini Workshops (1?2-hours each) Submission Deadline: 26 June 2023 Confirmed keynote by Agnieszka Leszczynski (see below for details) http://platial23.platialscience.net ========================================================================= # PLATIAL'23 Symposium on Platial Information Science Places are not static. For example, social-ecological sacrifice zones influence how people see their own existence in partly economically shaped areas with detrimental social and health characteristics, or even support the formation of these zones through place-making. Likewise, gentrification can lead to territorial conflicts, including cultural hegemony, possibly leading to othering of previously resident people. The Ruhr ? where PLATIAL'23 will take place ? is a prime example of transformation itself, as it has undergone significant change as a (post-)industrial area over the last 150 years. These processes of transformation are not exceptions but the rule when it comes to fluid instantiations of place. PLATIAL'23 particularly invites researchers to explore how transformations (in a broad sense) not only manifest in places themselves but are also reflected in platial information. Concepts of place based on social ontologies instead of merely geometric space conceptions are inherently predisposed to fluidity and change. However, this character is often not reflected in the way GIScience and related disciplines represent and analyse platial information yet. Additional to the symposium's theme, we welcome submissions on the following topics: * Which approaches of place representation exist in different fields, and how can these be integrated? * How can we move forward the integration of platial information and GIS? * What are suitable strategies for addressing subjectivity in platial information? * In what ways can platial information theories accommodate the complexity of places? * How can we account for dynamics, change, and fluidity in platial information? * What is the role of scale in platial information? * In which ways can places be visualised, or conveyed in other forms? * In what ways could platial information inform future applications and technologies, such as question answering systems, scenario-based planning, and virtual/augmented reality? * Which novel perspectives could a platial lens enable in GIScience and cognate fields? Further topics that fit the overall theme of the symposium are welcome. ## IMPORTANT DATES 10 July 2023 Submission deadline for both short papers and mini workshops 19?21 September 2023 PLATIAL'23 Symposium ## VENUE U-Tower in Dortmund, Germany ## 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'23 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/overleaf23 Submission of your paper (i.e., the PDF) should be done via Granska: http://platialscience.net/granska23 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/word23 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'23 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 platial23 at platialscience.net by 26 June. 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.
