About the conference
The GeoMundus Conference is an international Geoinformatics and Geospatial Technologies conference organized by students for students. It is hosted by the students of the Erasmus Mundus Master's program in Geospatial Technologies. Since 2009, the GeoMundus conference has been hosted annually - alternating between the program’s organizing universities- NOVA IMS (Lisbon, Portugal), University of Münster (Münster, Germany) and UJI (Castellón de la Plana, Spain). This year, the 16th edition of the conference will be held at the University of Münster, Münster, Germany. This conference is free of charge.
The approach of students organizing a conference for students is quite unique. However, the participants include experts, researchers, professionals, policymakers, and the general public. Anyone who is curious or enthusiastic about geospatial technologies and their applications can participate in this conference! It is a fantastic opportunity to engage with this exciting and fast-growing field and to network with a diverse group of people at the cutting edge.
As students and future members of the geospatial community, we want to bring together a representative group of professionals to share their experience and critically discuss the role of geospatial technologies experts in the industry, academia, government and NGO positions where students are most likely to develop a career.
The 16th edition will be in-person attendance.
This year’s conference will feature keynote speakers, workshops, paper and poster presentations, career development, and networking events. Past keynotes have included illustrious names from Geospatial space such as Dr. Michael Goodchild, Dr. Werner Kuhn, and John Nelson.
This year’s focus topic:
This conference shares and celebrates the work of researchers, students, policymakers
and professionals within the scope of Geoinformatics and GI Applications. We’re setting
the stage for enriching discussions on the newest technologies and methodologies that
address environmental challenges with the use of geospatial information. This will
promote multi-disciplinary insights from participants on topics that cover Geospatial
Technologies and various aspects of sustainable development such as (but not limited
to):
- Disaster management
- Environmental resilience
- Spatiotemporal modeling of climate conditions
- Data visualization and decision-making
- Water management
- Physical Geography
- Remote sensing techniques
- Sustainable land use
- Geospatial Analysis
Keynote Speakers
As a student-led effort, Geomundus will feature a broad landscape of expertise and areas of action within the GIS field, such as academic figures, NGO advisors, government officials, and private sector actors. We understand that climate action seen through a GIS lens requires a wide array of perspectives that enrich discussions and ignite our curiosity. These insights will ultimately become the foundations of our professional practice. Information about the keynote speakers and the keynote topics will be updated soon!
