Our GeoTech Erasmus students recently joined the UN Mappers Training at Universitat Jaume I in Castellón, Spain! 🇪🇸🌍

During the two-day workshop (11–12 November), students learned the fundamentals of OpenStreetMap (OSM).

A great opportunity for our cohort to strengthen their open-mapping skills and engage with the global UN Mappers community. 🌐🤝

🎓 GeoTech Cohort Sharing

Proud of Taiwo Amodu, our GeoTech master’s student, for continuing his reflections from the State of the Map (SotM) 2025 Conference in Manila! 🌍💪

This time, Taiwo highlighted how open mapping empowers communities across the globe. In the session “Community-Driven Data,” mappers from Tanzania, Mozambique, and Kenya showcased how participatory mapping improves waste management and influences local policy.
