Every day, humans generate quintillions of bytes of data, 80% of which are geospatial. These data are acquired from in-situ and remote sensors, as well as from digital documents and social media. This massive flow of data must be properly processed to extract valuable information.

Geoinformatics Engineers are high-level experts in methodologies and technologies for generating, analyzing, and managing geospatial data and information. They play a crucial role in projects supporting emerging paradigms such as Participative Digital Earth, Smart Cities, and Smart Societies, all of which contribute to the sustainable management of the environment and land.
