This reports a history and future prospects of the activities by the Student Forum of the Geoinformation Forum Japan. For growths of
academic fields, active communications among students and young scientists are indispensable. Several academic communities in
geoinformation fields are established by youths and play important roles of building networks over schools and institutes. The
networks are expected to be innovative cooperation after the youths achieve their professions. Although academic communities are
getting fixed growth particularly in Japan, youths had gotten little opportunities to make contacts with youths themselves. To
promote gotten youth activities among geoinformation fields, in 1998, we started a series of programs that named the Student Forum
of the Geoinformation Forum Japan involving students and young scientists within the annual conferences, Geoinformation Forum
Japan. The programs have provided opportunities to do presentation their studies by posters, some events, and motivations to create
networks among students and young scientists. From 2009, some members of our activities set additional conference in west area of
Japan. Thus our activities are spread within Japan. As a result of these achievements, the number of youth dedicating to the programs
keeps growing. From 2009, it's getting international gradually, however, almost all the participants are still Japanese. To keep and
expand the network, we are planning to make some nodes with some Asian youth organizations in the field of geoinformation. This
paper is concluded with proposals and future prospects on the Student Forum of the Geoinformation Forum Japan. |
