Varenius Initiatives (1995-1999)
Varenius was an NCGIA project to advance geographic information science within the context of the information society. The key strategic areas of research included (1) cognitive models of geographic space, (2) computational implementations of geographic concepts, and (3) geographies of the information society. The conceptualization of the Varenius Project (named in honor of Bernard Varenius, the 17th century geographer and author of Geographia Generalis) began in 1995. It was funded by the National Science Foundation in the period February 1997 through November 1999 and provided a platform for expanding the NCGIA traditions of research initiatives and related specialist research meetings.
