The CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies (CyberGIS Center) was established in 2013 as a partnership among several units at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. CyberGIS—referred to as geographic information science and systems (GIS) based on advanced infrastructure of computing, information, and communication technologies (aka cyberinfrastructure or e-infrastructure)—represents a vibrant interdisciplinary field for bridging advanced cyberinfrastructure, geographic information science and technologies, and various geospatial knowledge domains. Our mission is to empower advanced digital and spatial studies through innovation of CyberGIS technologies and applications.
