This edition of the ECTQG is jointly organised by the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning of the University of Luxembourg and the Urban Development and Mobility Department of the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), grouped under the Quadtrees virtual lab.
The ECTQG is intended to cover a large set of topics where quantitative and theoretical geographers are involved these days in Europe and beyond. Following a long tradition, the topics will emerge directly from the network – that is from you! – by means of special hot topics sessions, as well as with standard sessions showing continuous progress in ideas and methods, including for example epistemology and theory, geographic information science, geoviz, spatial statistics, spatial interactions, networks, big geo-data, agent-based models, computer simulations, artificial life and intelligence, time geography, geo-history/archaeology, urban patterns and growth, fractals, scaling laws, economic geography, environmental and social sustainability, climate change, health geography, transport and land use…
Mondorf-les-Bains is a charming spa town, situated in the South-Eastern area of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, next to the commune of Schengen. No better place for a European event!
Looking forward to seeing you
