h6>Hotel and TransportationWorksho psSponsorsKeynote Speakers | Building on UCGIS&rs quo;s earlier published research agenda, the 2016 Symposium explored new GI Science research challenges that intersect with emerging, cutting-edge ques tions in the humanities, the social, physical, or health sciences, or engin eering. Meeting these grand challenges will require new strategies and infr astructures for collaboration and research. Through the GIS&T Body of K nowledge (BoK), UCGIS has played a key role in developing a framework for G IScience education and knowledge management. This year we considered collec tive efforts that will help transform GIScience research. Are there communi ty-wide needs that could benefit from overarching organization and momentum , such as that provided to the biological sciences by the Gene Ontology (GO ) project that facilitated rapid and structured sharing of research results ? What infrastructure or resources can facilitate productive collaboration within the inter- and multi-disciplinary research teams so strongly promote d by today’s research agencies? And within this collaborative framewo rk, how can individual scholars formulate successful research careers? Join your senior and early career colleagues to explore strategies for transfor ming our individual and collective research agenda as we look to the future . The 2016 Symposium took place Tuesday May 24 - Thursday May 26, 201 6, in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the iconic Hotel Valley Ho (link is external).
