Geo4Impact 2025

We are excited to announce that the MAPME Initiative is organizing its second Geo4Impact 2025 event

Geo4Impact 2025 brings together thought leaders, professionals, and researchers from institutions in the field of development cooperation to showcase innovative and reusable open geospatial solutions. Together, we'll explore how these tools can address sector-specific challenges, enhance project design, refine evaluation and monitoring processes, and contribute to creating a more sustainable and impactful future for all.

The seminar emphasizes in-person participation to foster meaningful connections. Highlights include:

27 May:

• Morning Sessions*: Engaging, short presentations from peers sharing innovative reusable ideas and case studies.
• Networking Lunch: Connect with fellow participants through interactive "speed-dating" activities.
• Afternoon Sessions*: short presentations from peers followed by an engaging panel discussion. 

28 May:

• Morning Sessions*: A dedicated half-day session will provide an in-depth examination of selected chapters from the forthcoming Geospatial Impact Evaluation in Practice textbook. Bringing together researchers and practitioners, this session will explore cutting-edge geospatial methods for cost-effective, repeatable, and scalable impact evaluation. Structured discussions will highlight AI-driven applications and real-world case studies, fostering collaboration to ensure the content effectively addresses future needs."

*The full agenda will be available in April.

While we encourage in-person attendance, seating is limited. Once we reach full capacity, virtual participation will be available for those unable to attend onsite, including those affected by capacity limits.

This free event does not cover travel or accommodation costs.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Together, we can drive meaningful change!
