UNIGIS is the largest international university network with the aim of offering practice-oriented postgraduate programs in Geographic Information Systems as distance learning courses over the internet. Currently, UNIGIS provides study programs in German, English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Hungarian.

From November 7^th to 9^th, the directors of the partner universities in the global UNIGIS network gathered in Salzburg to collectively strategise the future of their international collaboration.

 

On November 13^th, we were delighted to welcome the first two graduates of the UNIGIS MSc program from Croatia and Slovenia to the official graduation ceremony at PLUS! During the ceremony, the new rector of PLUS, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Bernhard Fügenschuh, presented graduation certificates to Urška Kušar and Eldar Ibrahimović, alongside a group of 120 other PLUS alumni. 

Following the official ceremony, we had the pleasure of showing both UNIGIS alumni around the UNIGIS office. Together with Dr. Ivan Tomljenovic, the lecturer of the optional module "LiDAR in theory and application", we raised our glasses in celebration of Urška's and Eldar's remarkable achievements!

Congratulations to both UNIGIS alumni, and best wishes for a bright future with GIS!

 

The 2024 edition of ForoMundoUNIGIS, themed "Geospatial Innovation: Transforming Territories for a Connected World", brought together researchers, GIS practitioners, students, and alumni from the Latin American UNIGIS community to discuss the latest trends and success stories in the application of GI-technologies across Latin America.

During the event, this year’s winner of the UNIGIS América Latina Master Thesis Award Franklin Molinas ("Estimation of the sedimentation rate in the Itaipu reservoir - Paraguay, Brazil - using multibeam bathymetry") as well as the winners of the UNIGIS América Latina Academic Excellence Prize Alejandra Benavides ("Spatial Data Collection on Natural Hazard Exposure in Heritage Buildings, Guaranda, Ecuador") and Ismael Hernández ("Wildfire Risk Model in Mineral del Monte, Hidalgo, México") were announced.

Congratulations to the winners, and we look forward to seeing you at ForoMundo 2025!
