In particular, we welcome submissions relating to the following topics:
Advances in production techniques
Initiatives for topographic data interoperability and harmonisation
History of topographic mapping
Relevance and use of topographic maps
National styles of cartography
New methods of portrayal, especially involving non-representational approaches
A title and abstract of no more than 200 words should be sent to Dr Alex Kent (alexander.kent@canterbury.ac.uk) or Dr Anja Hopstock (ica_topomapping@email.de) by 31 January 2018.
