AGSE 2022 – Thiruvananthapuram, India

Applied Geoinformatics for Digital Transformation and Environmental Stewardship

AGSE 2022 is incorporated into the DAAD supported alumni work of the University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart. Therefore, participants from many countries worldwide contribute with experiences from their home countries. With the wide topic "Applied Geoinformatics for Digital Transformation and Environmental Stewardship" the summer school aims at contributions of Earth Observation, geoinformatics and geospatial science ) for ongoing digitalization in our socienties and our role in the handling of environmental changes and corresponding activities. The concept includes invited talks by international experts in combination with presentations by participants in the mornings and workshops in the afternoons on topics related to technological developments and recent data provision by Earth Observation Systems. The objective of the conference is to 'take the benefits of geographic information technologies to a wide canvas of applicable areas'. Since 2008 we – scientists, practitioners, students and alumni – continue this path to empower one another in a participative way.

AGSE 2017 – Kish, Iran

Geoinformation – Supporting Crisis and Disaster Management

The 8th International Summer School of Applied Geoinformatics for Society and Environment (AGSE2017), which was co-organized by University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, University of Tehran, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) held at the Kish International Campus University of Tehran, Kish Island from April 29 to May 04, 2017. The overall goal of this conference was to take into account the current state-of-the-art in Geosciences related disciplines such as photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geo-information topics to a wide range of application areas, with significant focus on "Crisis and Disaster Management". During this summer school different practical and educational workshops have been conducted by outstanding and internationally known researchers on different fields of geospatial data acquisition, analysis and application. Generally, about 23 articles and works in progress and about 11 workshops were presented during five days. The scope of the presentations covered the latest science and technology developments as well as recent applications and research activities for crisis and disaster management, risk assessments, monitoring natural and man-made disasters, based on earth observation or ground based techniques as well as the other contribution of geoinformatics, remote sensing, and planning to preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation of disasters. The overall success of AGSE2017 summer school was demonstrated by the impressive attendance, with more than 50 participants from universities and research organizations, but also from application oriented institutions, primarily from Iran but also from twelve other nations such as Germany, France, The Netherlands, Colombia, Kenya, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, India, Nigeria, Nepal, and Tanzania.

Below the El Misti volcano: Applied Geoinformatics for Society and Environment Conference 2010

The third AGSE2010 (the Third Applied Geoinformatics for Society and Environment Conference 2010) jointly organized by the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences, Germany (SUAS) and the Catholic University of Santa Maria (UCSM) took place between Aug 3 and 6, 2010 at Arequipa, Peru, under the benign gaze of the El Misti volcano. This was the third continent the conference was travelling to in as many years, the first being in the humid tropical environments of Kerala, in southern India, within the continent of Asia; the second in the temperate zone of southern Germany in Stuttgart, in Europe. In a way this could be record, because the fourth conference plans to move to Nairobi, in the continent of Africa. It won’t surprise anyone if an AGSE took place in Antarctica for that matter.
