<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The workshop is part of a recently funded initiative intended to create a network of researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in eXtended Realities research, the
Metaverse, and GIScience. We expect that this initiative will further strengthen existing and facilitate new collaborations leading to a stronger presence of GIScience in the emerging field of eXtended Realities and its connection to spatial data science and
GeoAI. We wish to create further momentum for long-term XR research and education opportunities; providing emerging scholars with a supportive networking environment and encouraging established scholars to seek further funding collaborations in large scale
EU funding initiatives.</span></p>

societal impacts will be further discussed, we will jointly sketch a first draft of a GIScience impact agenda for XR research and education. Attending participants and others will be invited to further contribute to the evolving XR manifest in GIScience, and
to other opportunities for joint funding initiatives.</span></p>
