GeoHumanitarian Action Forum, 8th July 2021

The 12th International Symposium on Digital Earth – GeoHumanitarian Action Forum 8th July 2021

The Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS, University of Salzburg hosted the The 12th International Symposium on Digital Earth – ISDE12 – July, 6-8 2021. This special event brought together policymakers and scientists to explore pathways towards the vision of a ‘Digital Earth’.

The GeoHumanitarian Action Forum was a special forum in this year’s ISDE and was held on Thursday, July 8th, 2021. The day’s programme brought together experts from research institutions, service providers, and humanitarian actors, to exchange about the role of geospatial technologies and Earth observation in humanitarian operations. With a mix of presentations, panel discussions, and keynotes, the forum’s interactive format gave both newcomers and experts plenty of opportunity for networking and sharing ideas.
