Geomatics Day is your chance to get up to date on the latest research of our students. We will be showing the results of the students’ synthesis project where they partnered with a company or government organisation to address a real world challenge. Companies will be presenting their latest geo-innovations and there will be lively discussions with outstanding professors, CEOs and students about new trends and developments in our domain.
Geomatics Day is also the networking event of the MSc Geomatics for the Built Environment programme. Here you can meet students, alumni and other geo-information professionals and explore how Geomatics helps us to better understand, manage and shape the built environment.
Geomatics Day will conclude with the announcement of the Geomatics best thesis award and by a borrel.
