The conference is an opportunity of encounter among researchers interested in sharing two
levels of considerations about cartography: the epistemic one, concerning the communicative role it
is playing actually; the empiric one, regarding the production of maps, able to face globalization
challenges.
The conference is going to be a moment for thinking about these issues both under a
theoretical and a practical profile. This is the reason why the organization of the event will be
assured by both theoretical and empirical researchers.
The conference will be structured into three different moments: the first organised in two plenary
sessions (introduction and conclusion); the second in three parallel workshops dedicated to the three
conference issues; the third presenting an exhibition session (multimedia systems and posters) of the
products already realised by the different institutions.
The promoters will open the event and point out the problematic nature of the three identified issues.
Then, discussants" presentations will follow, giving suggestions and asking questions to which the three
parallel workshops – with the participants" interventions – will have to deal with.
The workshop will be managed by two coordinators in charge of orienting the discussion and choosing a
reporter for the last plenary session. In this final session, discussants and reporters will take part
in a round table, followed by the promoters" conclusive notes. The exhibition session will be freely managed
by participants that will be provided with computers and a suitable working area.
Conference languages will be English and Italian.
