The Annual Summer School

Usually held over four days in September at a different location each year, the Summer School creates an ideal opportunity to attend lectures, exhibitions, seminars and workshops, as well as to visit a broad spectrum of cartographic establishments. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere is also ideal for informal discussions with fellow cartographers and is a pleasant and stimulating way to keep up to date with new technology. It is especially beneficial for those cartographers working within small cartographic units who can perhaps remain isolated from new developments and trends within cartographic circles. Summer Schools are normally attended by over 100 members, and many non-members.

The 2006 Summer School will be held at the University of Keele.


Each year at the Summer School the Wallis Award is presented.

Bursaries are available for attending the Summer School.
