As part of the Cultural Dimensions of Innovation conference, UCD is delighted to present:
Places & Spaces: Mapping Science is intended to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. It has two components: the physical part supports the close inspection of high quality reproductions of maps for display at conferences and education centers; the online counterpart provides links to a selected series of maps and their makers along with detailed explanations of how these maps work. The exhibit is a 10-year effort. Each year, 10 new maps are added resulting in 100 maps total in 2014.
1st Iteration (2005): The Power of Maps
This iteration aims to show the power of maps to help us understand, navigate, and manage both physical places and abstract knowledge spaces.
2nd Iteration (2006): The Power of Reference Systems
This iteration aims to inspire discussion about a common reference system for all of mankind's scientific knowledge.
3rd Iteration (2007): The Power of Forecasts
The third iteration compares and contrasts seismic hazard, economic, resource depletion, and epidemic forecast maps with maps forecasting the structure and evolution of science.
4th Iteration (2008): Science Maps for Economic Decision Makers
This is the first of six iterations that explore the utility of science maps for different stakeholders. The maps presented here target the needs of economic decision makers.
Fifth Iteration (2009) Science Maps for Science Policy Makers
The fifth iteration shows science maps for science policy makers as well as citizens interested in understanding national priorities, spending, and achievements.
