GSDI-11: Weitere Ergebnisse aus Rotterdam !

Der Abschlußtag der mehrtägigen Konferenzen GSDI-11 / INSPIRE-3 / NSDI.NL zeigte nicht nur die Fortschritte der holländischen GeoDIENSTE und der GeoIndustrie, sondern war insbesondere der Nachwuchsgewinnung in der GeoBranche gewidmet.
Es war beeindruckend, daß zahlreiche holländische Schüler aus Gymnasien und Berufsschulen bzw. Bachelor-Studenten die Gelegenheit zur aktiven Teilnahme an diesem globalen Event erhielten.
Nachdenkenswert waren dann auch Stimmungen und Meinungen des holländischen GEO Nachwuchses, die inzwischen im [ Weblog von HUNAGI ] dokumentiert wurden, weil gerade im Katasterwesen der Niederlande in den nächsten drei Jahren ca. 700 Fachkräfte benötigt werden.
Welche beruflichen Vorstellungen der Nachwuchs äußerte, zeigt das [ Szenenbild ] aus einer Präsentation...

Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre in 21st Century (MIIGAiK - 230 Years - International Conference)

Международная конференция «Геодезия, Картография и Кадастр - XXI век»
проводится в рамках празднования "230-ой годовщины со дня основания Московского Государственного Университета Геодезии и Картографии"
Май, 25-27, 2009, Москва, Россия

The Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography (formerly well-known as MIIGAiK - Moskovskij Institut Inzhenerov Geodezii, Aeros"emki i Kartografii) is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the field of geodesy and cartography in the world. In spite of its age the MIIGAiK is following a permanent process of development and adaptation to the demands of modern information and knowledge society. The principal objectives of Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography are the following ones:

• to train specialists of high qualification, to have fundamental theoretical knowledge, practical skills in their specialty and be well informed about the most recent science and technology achievements in the world;
• to carry out, together with training, fundamental research and applied scientific studies, to participate in developing international special purpose projects of Russian and other international organizations;
• to provide researchers, instructors and specialists with postgraduate training, as well as additional re-training, further education and e-learning courses for improving qualification.

The MIIGAiK has entered the 21st century with a highly creative & innovative potential of its staff and a rich scientific base, actively using in the educational process the latest technological achievements in the fields of astronomy, geodesy, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing & cosmos research, as well as urban cadastre & territorial development. Russian higher education is notable for its authority as one of the best engineering schools. Its professors and technical staff, having unique pedagogical experience in training students and post-graduates from all over the world, always sharing their knowledge and experience.

As a former aspirant 40 years ago I entered the MIIGAiK in 1969 for my own PhD research on geo-statistical approaches to automated generalization under the leadership of Prof. V. I. SUCHOV - at that time one of the well-known cartographer dealing with information, entropy and generalization applications of data storage in Information Search Systems ( "Informacionno-poiskovye sistemy" ) in cartography. Therefore, but now 40 years later, it has been a great opportunity having the high-tec company "1spatial" (Cambridge, UK) - the leading european company in the field of automated generalization in Europe - at the GI2009-Symposium-DRESDEN ( 9. Sächsisches GIS-Forum ) and reporting about the progress made for automated generalization processes across Europe. It will be a great pleasure for me returning again to Moscow and participating in the forthcoming International Conference on the occasion of the 230-years celebration of MIIGAiK.

The International Conference on Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre is to be held on May 25-27, 2009, in the MIIGAiK conference hall at the address: 4 Gorokhovsky by-street, Moscow 105064, Russia. Scientific and technical reports are on the following topics:

• Geodesy
• Cartography and Design
• Photogrammetry. Remote Sensing of the Earth and Planets
• Cartographic and Geodetic Support for Space Research
• GeoInformation Systems and Technologies
• The Cadastre of Real Estate Units. The Economy and Development of Areas
• Legal Regulation of Land and Property Relations
• Instrumentation for Geodetic and Geoinformation Technologies
• Cartographic and Geodetic Education

GIS Defence & Security Strategies For Central & Eastern Europe

Growing Interoperability & Full Situational Awareness To Support NATO & National Security Operations: GIS Services In Central & Eastern Europe

• September 30th – October 1st, Prague, Czech Republic

DGI Central & Eastern Europe is set to become the region’s largest annual gathering dedicated to discussing the major challenges of integrating the region’s defence and government Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities into the EU and NATO operations around the world.
It has become imperative for eastern European countries to integrate their GIS strategies and capabilities with the overall European infrastructure and operational capabilities of the EU and NATO.

The central & eastern European member states are currently re-designing and developing their GIS strategies in line with the new requirements of the EU and NATO. Challenges such as achieving cross-border interoperability, tackling refugee and narcotics trafficking, supporting in-theatre operations in Afghanistan, Iraq require strategic support from GIS services of each European nation and will be addressed during the conference.

DGI CEE will bring together Heads of Geospatial Intelligence, GIS, Remote Sensing, Operations, and Imagery and Analysis, to provide a unique forum to discuss and debate the challenges and future strategies for GIS capabilities in central & eastern Europe.

The conference will address the use of GIS in scenarios such as situational awareness, full in-theatre & strategic interoperability, cooperation between the new member states, border control, refugee trafficking prevention, environmental protection, crime, security.

A fundamental objective of the event is to promote the role of GIS in defence and civilian operations in central & eastern Europe, help defence and law enforcement organisations take full advantage of the latest GIS technologies in joining the EU and NATO.

GIS Defence & Security Strategies For Central & Eastern Europe: DGI CEE - HUNAGI co-operation launched
