Dear GIS-IDEAS 2026 Delegates, As part of the social activities of GIS-IDEAS 2026, we are pleased to organize a one-day tour to Tam Coc – Bich Dong and Hoa Lu Ancient Town, Ninh Binh on 27 September 2026. If you would like to join the tour, please register with us from now until the afternoon of Monday, 21 September 2026. Your registration will help us confirm the number of participants and arrange an appropriate number of tour guides, transportation, and other arrangements for the group. The link below for you to register this tour. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bVLFBtqfU5z_EzA7m4x0oHlMlkXyCOfy/ed… Please find the attached file “NINH_BINH.docx”, which provides the detailed tour itinerary and estimated cost based on a group of approximately 15 participants. Please note that the tour cost per person will decrease if the number of participants increases, as some of the transportation and guide costs can be shared among more participants. About the destinations Tam Coc is one of the most famous scenic areas in Ninh Binh, often referred to as “Ha Long Bay on land.” The landscape features limestone karst mountains, green rice fields, rivers, and caves. Visitors will take a traditional boat trip along the Ngo Dong River, passing through the spectacular limestone landscape and natural caves. Hoa Lu Ancient Town is a cultural and historical tourism area located in the vicinity of the former capital of Hoa Lu, which was the capital of Vietnam during the 10th and early 11th centuries. The area combines traditional Vietnamese architecture, historical and cultural elements, local cuisine, and an evening atmosphere inspired by the heritage of the ancient capital. We hope you will take this opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful and culturally significant areas of northern Vietnam and enjoy a relaxing experience together with other GIS-IDEAS 2026 participants. Registration deadline: Monday afternoon, 21 September 2026. If you would like to join the tour, please register before the deadline so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

by Phungtrung Thanh 09 Sep '26

09 Sep '26

Dear GIS-IDEAS 2026 Organizing Committee, I am writing to kindly ask you to check and confirm the publication status and publication venue of my paper submitted to GIS-IDEAS 2026: *“Evaluation of New Global Gravity Models Using GNSS-Leveling Data in Viet Nam”* I have already paid the Conference Fee for GIS-IDEAS 2026, as shown in the attached payment confirmation. The payment was made on *28 May 2026*, with the following transaction details: - *Amount:* VND 1,500,000 - *Payment content:* Phung Trung Thanh – Evaluation of New Global Gravity Models Using GNSS-Leveling Data in Viet Nam – paid for GIS-IDEAS2026 Before making the payment, I had also contacted the organizers by email to express my preference for having this paper considered for publication in *The GIS-IDEAS Journal (TGIJ)* under the journal APC arrangement, rather than only in the *GIS-IDEAS 2026 e-Proceedings*. Therefore, could you please kindly check your records and confirm *which publication venue my paper has been assigned to*: 1. *GIS-IDEAS 2026 e-Proceedings* (APCs included in the Conference Fee), or 2. *The GIS-IDEAS Journal (TGIJ)* (journal APCs). If my paper is currently scheduled for the e-Proceedings, I would also appreciate it if you could let me know whether my previous request to consider the paper for *TGIJ* has been received and whether it is still possible to process it for the journal. I would be very grateful if you could confirm the current status of my paper so that I can make sure that the publication arrangement is correct. Thank you very much for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, *Phung Trung Thanh*

About Tentative Program and Training Workshop Registration

08 Sep '26

Dear Colleagues and Participants, There are now only three weeks remaining until the GIS-IDEAS 2026 Conference. We are pleased to share with you the preliminary conference program (attached). As part of the conference activities, September 24, 2026, will be dedicated to Training Workshops. We are pleased to announce two specialized hands-on workshops focusing on the application of QGIS and its powerful ecosystem of plugins in Remote Sensing and geospatial analysis: Workshop 1: Mapping Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Satellite Data Using a QGIS Plugin Workshop 2: Urban Land Cover Classification Using the EnMAP-Box QGIS Plugin QGIS has become one of the world's leading open-source Geographic Information System platforms, offering an increasingly powerful and user-friendly environment that is now approaching the convenience and functionality of many commercial GIS and remote sensing software packages. Unlike proprietary software, however, QGIS is freely available and open source, providing not only a cost-effective alternative but also significant opportunities for researchers and developers to create new tools, plugins, and innovative geospatial applications. Its continuously expanding plugin ecosystem makes QGIS an increasingly important platform for scientific research, education, and professional applications. The workshops will be conducted by Prof. Maria Antonia Brovelli and Dr. Pham Thi Mai Thy, both of whom have extensive experience in GIS, Remote Sensing, Earth Observation, and geospatial technologies. Brief CVs of the instructors are provided below for your reference. Prof. Maria Antonia Brovelli holds a degree in Physics and a PhD in Geodesy and Cartography. She is a Full Professor at Politecnico di Milano (PoliMI), where she teaches GIS, Earth Observation and sustainable development-related subjects. Her research focuses on Geomatics, GIS, Earth Observation, Open-Source GIS, Big Geo Data, GEOAI and Geospatial Foundation Models. She has held numerous leading positions in international scientific organizations and initiatives, including ISPRS, ESA, the United Nations Open GIS Initiative, UN-GGIM Academic Network and OSGeo. She is currently the Head of GEOLab at Politecnico di Milano and has an extensive record of international research projects and scientific publications. For detailed information on her academic and scientific background, please refer to: https://www.gisgeolab.polimi.it/docs/cvs/CV_Brovelli_27012025.pdf Dr. Pham Thi Mai Thy is a specialist in Remote Sensing and holds a PhD in Remote Sensing from Osaka City University, Japan. She has more than 20 years of experience in applying Remote Sensing and GIS technologies to environmental monitoring, natural resource management, land use assessment, and natural hazard studies. She has served as Principal Investigator for two national-level research projects under Vietnam's Space Science and Technology Program. She is also a member of the Capacity Building Working Group (WGCapD) on space science within the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS). For detailed information on her scientific and academic background, please refer to: Dr. Pham Thi Mai Thy's full scientific profile<https://vsgacademy.com/teacher/pham-thi-mai-thy?utm_source=chatgpt.com> Authors and conference participants who are interested in joining the workshops are kindly invited to register directly with the Conference Secretariat via: Email:vananhtdavt@gmail.com Mobile: +84 986 811 971 Please note that participation in the Training Workshops is strictly limited to a maximum of 20 participants.

Dear Authors, We would like to kindly remind all authors whose papers have been accepted for presentation at GIS-IDEAS 2026 to complete their conference registration and payment as soon as possible. As previously announced, we have sent several reminders regarding the early registration deadline of May 31, 2026. However, the number of registered authors remains relatively low at this stage. Please note that, according to the conference policy, at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and pay the required conference registration fee, including the publication fee for the Springer Proceedings and TGIJ journal (If accepted). Failure to complete the registration and payment process will result in the paper being excluded from the conference proceedings and therefore not published in the Springer volume. We sincerely encourage all authors who have not yet completed their registration to do so at their earliest convenience to ensure the inclusion of your papers in the official conference proceedings. If you have already completed your registration and payment, please disregard this message. Should you have any questions regarding the registration process, please do not hesitate to contact the organizing committee.
