Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe (AGILE)

The Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe (AGILE) was established in early 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. 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 and it also provides a permanent scientific forum where geographic information researchers can meet and exchange ideas and experiences at the European level.

Activities of AGILE are managed by a 8 person council elected by its members. Its main tasks are to develop an organisational structure to realise the goals stated above, to further develop with the help of the members a European research agenda, to initiate and stimulate working groups, and to organise a yearly GI-conference.

The mission of AGILE is: To promote academic teaching and research on Geographic Information Science by representing the interests of those involved in GI-teaching and research at the national and the European level, and the continuation and extension of existing networking activities.
