The Italian Conference on Geomatics and Geospatial Technologies #ASITA2026
Agents of change: from resilience to territorial regeneration
Bologna, 17-20th November 2026
The Italian Conference on Geomatics and Geospatial Technologies #ASITA2026 will take place from 17 to 20 November 2026.
The conference focuses on discussing and evaluating advancements in Geomatics, including its theories, techniques, and institutional aspects related to methods, applications, and tools.
Participants are therefore invited to discuss:
– the state-of-the-art and case studies using geospatial-based products and services from dedicated agencies and programmes (e.g., Copernicus);
– instances related to the growing need for standardization and validation procedures of geographical and Earth Observation data, products and services, emphasizing their roles in institutional monitoring and control actions, such as CAP controls and managing natural hazards;
– the role of Geomatics in the Next Generation EU framework (PNRR in Italy) with a focus on related national projects and actions in different countries.
Welcomed Topics
Contributions should focus on experiences involving Geomatics across various research and application areas, such as: Cultural heritage and landscape, Forests, Precision agriculture, Coastal and marine, Environment, Structures and infrastructures, Urban environment and cities, Cryosphere, Natural hazards and emergencies, Spatial planning for smart and sustainable cities, Official cartography and public administration, Maritime, military and technical cartography.
– Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI);
– New sensors, platforms, and products in Remote Sensing;
– Sensors, platforms, and algorithms for processing photogrammetric data;
– Indoor and outdoor positioning, navigation, and operational geodesy;
– SDI and interoperability;
– Historical GIS: cartography and historical toponymy and odonyms;
– Geo(big)data, GeoAnalytics, Decision Support Systems;
– Location-Based Services and Web Mapping;
