Geoinformatics2026: 33rd International Conference on Geoinformatics 2026 University Town, National University of Singapore Singapore, July 19-22, 2026

The International Conference on Geoinformatics is an official conference of the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS) and has been held annually since 1992. It has attracted not only the CPGIS members but also researchers, professionals, and students from broad communities around the world.

The main theme of 2026 Conference on Geoinformatics is Geo-innovations for a sustainable and resilient society. Under this broad umbrella, the conference aims to engage dialogues between researchers and practitioners to advance theoretical, methodological, and applied aspects of geographic information science and systems that transform our living environment to be more sustainable and more resilient. Other presentations regarding cutting-edge research on or related to broadly defined geographic information sciences, technologies, and applications, are welcome as always.

Guidelines for Submissions and Organized Sessions

Geoinformatics 2026 accepts submissions in either an abstract or a full paper, but not both. The submission is through Easychair (https://easychair.org/my2/conference?conf=geoinformatics2026).

• Abstract is mainly a short documentation up to 300 words containing major information about the research, particularly the purpose, methodology, and conclusion. 

• Full paper is a complete document of 6-8 pages that contains original research with innovations in the field of geographic information sciences and allied field, supported by rigorous methodology, experimental validation, and sound interpretation and discussion. The author(s) can choose to either submit to the conference proceeding published by IEEE GRSS or a special issue in a peer-reviewed journal (pending approval). 
  • The template for the conference proceeding submission available here.
  • The format for a submission to the peer-reviewed journal will follow that of the target journal.

Refer to the conference website for the deadline for the submission. All questions about submissions should be emailed to geobox14@nus.edu.sg. Please note the following:

• The author(s) of an abstract will be notified if the abstract is accepted to be presented at the Conference.
• The author(s) of a full paper will be notified if the paper is accepted to be presented at the Conference, and if the paper is selected to be included in the EI‐indexed Conference Proceedings published by IEEE GRSS or special issues in peer-reviewed journals (pending for approval).
• If the authors whose papers have been selected for the IEEE proceedings are not able to attend the Conference, they must notify the Conference Organizers three weeks before the Conference.

We also invites conference participants to get involved in organizing your own session(s). We will inform all participants when the period to organize your own session(s) opens.
