Asociación Europea de Laboratorios de Información Geográfica

4. ABOUT AGILE
The Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE) was
established in 1998 to promote academic teaching and research on GIS at the
European level and to ensure the continuation of the networking activities that
have emerged as a result of the EGIS Conferences and the European Science
Foundation GISDATA Scientific Programmes.

5. ABOUT AGILE
AGILE seeks to ensure that the views of the geographic information teaching
and research community are fully represented in the discussions that take
place on future European research agendas.
AGILE also provides a permanent scientific forum where geographic
information researchers can meet and exchange ideas and experiences at the
European level.

6. ABOUT AGILE
The activities of AGILE are managed by an eight person council elected by its
members. Its main tasks are to develop an organisational structure to realise
the goals of AGILE, to further develop with the help of the members a
European research agenda, to instigate and stimulate initiatives and to
organise a yearly GI-conference.

7. MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of AGILE is: "to promote academic teaching and research on GIS at
the European level and to stimulate and support networking activities between
member laboratories ”.

8. MISSION STATEMENT
This mission is pursued:
1. by the organisation of initiatives on specific topics intended to influence
the future European geographic information research agenda.
2. by facilitating networking activities between geographic information
laboratories at the European level via a range of activities including
scientific workshops, focused meetings based on state-or-the-art
presentations on key research issues and wider-ranging European
geographic information research conferences.

9. COMMUNITY
The AGILE community consists of a lot of members of the European academic
GI-community, the affiliated members, which are industrial partner and the
AGILE council. AGILE also cooperates in many ways with other organisations,
industry and government.

10. CONFERENCE AND PROCEEDINGS
The first AGILE conference on GI-Science took place in 1998, in Enschede, The
Netherlands. Since then AGILE Members have met and exchanged ideas and experiences
on a European level at the yearly AGILE conference. The conferences are used to initiate
and stimulate AGILE Initiatives on specific subjects of special interest within the GI
community. In the last few years, AGILE conferences have had two outputs: Full refereed
papers that are accepted go to the Springer Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and
Cartography. This is indexed in ISI Web of Science. Short papers (oral presented or in
poster form) are also peer-reviewed and published in electronic proceedings (CD +
website, with ISBN).
