Conferences
6–8 July 2021, Online and on-site in Salzburg
12th International Symposium on Digital Earth
The Department of Geoinformatics (Z_GIS) at the University of Salzburg is honoured to host the 12th International Symposium on Digital Earth (ISDE12), on 6–8 July 2021. Scheduled within the annual “GI-Week”, this special event will bring together policymakers and scientists and explore pathways towards the vision of a “Digital Earth”.
Digital Earth is destined as a defining scientific and technological achievement of the 21st century. This will demand extreme computing for the most demanding big data challenges, the smartest applications of artificial intelligence, webs of sensors and actuators, and compelling gamification and visualisation methods. Most importantly, it will require agile minds collaborating in cross-discipline innovation and pursuit of scientific excellence. Young people, in particular, as “digital natives”, are adept in connecting local action and global changes through mixed-reality media linked to open online services.
ISDE12 aims to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by harnessing the world’s data and information resources to digitally represent our planet, and to monitor, measure, and forecast natural and human activities on Earth.
