The conference focuses on a wide range of current topics in spatial data acquisition and management, data sharing and utilisation, geoportal development, cloud services, public administration digitisation, BIM integration, remote sensing advances, augmented reality, new visualisation techniques, and the use of artificial intelligence and large language models in the creation and processing of spatial data.
At the same time, the importance of spatial data and geoinformation technologies is growing in addressing broader challenges linked to climate change, social and economic development, the transformation of cities and regions, and the development of smart and sustainable solutions. These topics, together with ways of monitoring and evaluating them and identifying suitable approaches to addressing them, are also the focus of the REFRESH project, whose activities naturally extend the thematic scope of the GIS Ostrava conference.
