Contribution to the Internet of Spaces Days November 10-11, Florence

i-locate Project is organizing a two days event where participants will be challenged to create a useful application using virtual globes (e.g. Google Earth or NASA World […]

All the code developed during the event will be released as open source to the community!

A scientific committee will evaluate the projects and the person or the team which develops the ‘prize’ solution will be awarded during the i-locate Conference (November 20 in Florence) with a trophy and a diploma.

This end-user focused event will offer an opportunity to discuss how innovative geoinformation services based onsatellite imagery and/or satellite navigation can help regional administrators improve public services and make betterinformed decisions about stimulating economic development and environmental sustainability.

Interoperable spatial data infrastructures and related services are enabling tools for EO applications

EO industry is transforming into a geoinformation industry

GSDI and IGS are open for the EO players to join the geospatial information community.

GSDI Regional and Country level members are playing active role not only supporting EO applications by their members for the societal benefit areas but also providing awareness raising by arranging international networking, regional projects, conference sessions, thematic workshops and promoting competition challenges from local to regional in EO in close cooperation with space agencies such as NASA or ESA.
