Institute for Geographic Information Science

The Institute for Geographic Information Science (IGIS) is an organization that focuses on studying and developing technologies related to geographic data. It explores how to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial information—like maps, satellite images, and location data—to better understand the world. Researchers and professionals at IGIS work on improving geographic information systems (GIS), which are used in urban planning, environmental management, transportation, and more. Their goal is to advance our ability to make informed decisions based on spatial data, ultimately helping society manage resources and solve complex geographic problems.
