Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the two winners of the 2019 IJGI Travel Awards:

Taylor Anderson is a PhD student at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Canada. She is a research assistant at the Spatial Analysis and Modeling Lab, Department of Geography, SFU, working on various research-related tasks, including conducting literature reviews; handling GIS data; and developing, programming, and implementing complex systems models.

Jue Wang is a PhD student in the Department of Geography and Geographic Information Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. His research focuses on creating a robust and reliable resource for accessing, sharing, and analyzing confidential geospatial research data, overcoming obstacles to replicating NSF research. His work is about evaluating and implementing masking and encryption capabilities for the GVDE, and he is responsible for experiment design, data collection, data processing and analysis, and the writing of papers for publication.

Each travel award consists of a certificate and 800 CHF to attend an academic conference of the recipient’s choice in 2019. Congratulations to the winners of this highly competitive travel award!

We would like to thank all the Scientific Committee members for their careful evaluation of the candidates and all the applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating research.

The 2020 IJGI Travel Awards will begin accepting applications at the end of 2019. Please check https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/awards for more information closer to that time.
