Webinar: GeoAI – Geospatial Artificial Intelligence

data.europa.eu – the official portal for European data – hosts a series of webinars to promote data literacy in open data. 52°North works together with con terra to support data.europa.eu in this endeavor, addressing issues of geoharvesting, a gazetteer and visualizing geospatial and real-time data.

As part of the data.europa academy series, this year’s webinar will focus on GeoAI – Geospatial Artificial Intelligence. After an introduction to GeoAI, participants are invited to discuss the relevance of GeoAI for data.europa.eu. Discussions will address the following questions:

  • What opportunities arise for data.europa.eu from this trend?
  • How can data.europa.eu benefit from the use of GeoAI?
  • How could data.europa.eu support the use of GeoAI?

The webinar takes place on September 8, 2023 at 10:00 am.

Please join us and exchange views on current trends in the field of geospatial data.

Decision Support System Component Tests for MariData Project

Decision Support System Component Tests for MariData Project

The ship simulator of the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences consists of an imitation of a ship’s bridge with corresponding control panels and screens for monitoring ship parameters and displaying cartographic material. A video projected on a curved screen surrounding the bridge gives the “ship’s crew” the feeling that they are sailing on the English Channel or any other chosen route. Different weather conditions can be selected for this projection, and although the bridge itself does not move, the video of waves hitting the ship from the sides makes the passengers sway in the desire to compensate for real waves.

Climate Services using Open Data & Open API Standards

From June 26 to June 30, 2023, the second Data Week took place in the historic New City Hall in Leipzig, Germany. The main theme of the conference was urban development and planning. On Monday, the presentations and keynotes focused on the European Green Deal projects and Data Cubes as a digital data resource to create a geospatial ecosystem for Europe. Tuesday’s focus was on FAIR data, various urban planning topics and different data spaces such as agriculture, biodiversity and climate. 52°North’s Johannes Schnell opened the Climate Data Space panel with a presentation of current projects. Wednesday evolved around AI and the need for semantics when providing data to make it machine readable and processable. The last two days were dedicated to workshops and discussions on sustainability and reproducibility of AI.
