Kommunales Monitoring zur Raumentwicklung (Sebastian Drost, Christian Danowski-Buhren)
This year’s FOSSGIS takes place in Münster from March 26 – 28, 2025. Users, developers, researchers and other interested parties come together to discuss application, work and further development possibilities as well as the latest developments in open source software for geoinformation systems and open data. The conference focuses on web mapping, geodata infrastructures, geodata management, geoprocessing, geodata analysis and modeling, desktop GIS and free geodata such as OpenStreetMap. It also covers topics such as digital sovereignty in connection with open source as well as open science and FAIR principles.
52°North’ Student Innovation Prize winner Simeon Wetzel presents the results of his work on LLM-based assistants for data discovery in SDIs. Henning Bredel and Matthes Rieke hold a Bird of a Feather session on GeoNode and 52°North exhibits its expertise in various fields, such as Cloud technologies and DevOps, interoperability and data integration, Spatial Data Science with co-design, and provides insight in KomMonitor developments.
