Dear all,
It is that time of year again! :)
**We are very pleased to announce the 5th annual.**
This year we are splitting the event over two seperate weeks:
Week 1 (11-15 June, 2007): Spatial Ontology -
Week 2 (16-20 July 2007): Spatial Data Infrastructures: young
researchers' forum
- features a focus on concrete progress to be published in the new
International Journal of SDI Research, http://ijsdir.jrc.it/, with
support from Ian Masser, Max Craglia, Michael Gould and Werner Kuhn.
Of course, we will be based in Fiesole, with the meetings taking place
again at Fattoria Montebeni.
You may also be interested to hear that the European Commission DG
Joint Research Centre (JRC) will provide support towards accommodation
and registration for the participation of 10-12 early career
scientists selected on a competitive basis.
The US National Science Foundation is offering 12 more:

Many of you receiving this message have already entered into the
'spirito' of Vespucci, and we may offer a 20% discount off the total
registration fee if you register for both weeks, and/or if you are a
returning attendees (i.e.
'veterans' of previous Summer Institutes).
As always, you can find further details at http://www.vespucci.org,
including information about registration and recommended accomodation.
Hope you all have a prosperous and health 2007... and that we will see
many of you in Tuscany this summer.
Ciao!
Robin :)
