GIS Day 2023

‘Everything occurs somewhere and at some point in time’, from the big bang about 13.8 billion years ago to the movement of a single electron around a single atom somewhere inside our body, and everything in between.   The obvious truism of the statement represents the fundamental basis for the importance of geospatial information and technologies such as GIS both in our daily lives, and for our future here on earth.  Location and temporal information are being created everywhere all […]

Eurogi Webinar: Mapping road damage using AI

Wednesday, November 22, 2023, at 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM CET To monitor the condition of the road surface, a mapping of its existing condition should ideally be carried out on a regular basis to detect any damage and determine its extent.However, performing a visual interpretation is a subjective and labour-intensive process. This also complicates periodic, comparable monitoring of the road surface condition. A more efficient solution involves applying object detection, a form of Artificial Intelligence, to mobile mapping data. After detection, the damages are georeferenced and geospatially joined to track them […]

ageoBOX – fostering learning with geospatial technologies

The Austrian GI umbrella organization ‘ageo’ recognizes and prioritizes the exposure of next generation professionals to geospatial technologies. While it is unanimously accepted that these tools increasingly are at the core of societal progress and business innovation, their presence in secondary education leaves much to be desired. With the aim of lowering the hurdles for pupils and teachers alike, ageo designs and develops a set of online teaching & learning resources. The ’box’ metaphor in ageoBOX alludes to a ‘kit’ […]

Join EARSC’s workshop on Copernicus

In The (virtual) SeBS Results Workshop on 18th and 19th November, we shall tell the story of how Copernicus is delivering value to European citizens.

Each of the 25 case studies, which have been analysed by the SeBS team, will be presented by some of its key stakeholders to inform participants of the […]
