The Importance of Spatial Information

Spatial information is a fundamental element in numerous applications, ranging from environmental monitoring and disaster response to infrastructure management and urban planning. The integration of AI with spatial data (GeoAI) offers significant potential for enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and applicability of geospatial solutions, contributing to advances in multiple domains, including predictive analytics, climate science, and automation.

Call for Participation

Individuals and teams are invited to contribute their ideas, projects, and expertise. The camp provides a platform for knowledge sharing, discussion, and collaboration. Participants are encouraged to present GeoAI-related initiatives, challenges, or innovative concepts that can benefit from collective development and refinement.

Format

The event will begin with a 45-minute keynote focused on GeoAI and how it integrates with Generic AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). This keynote will outline our vision for the future of GeoAI and its synergy with emerging AI technologies.

Following the keynote, there will be a series of five-minute pitch presentations where attendees can introduce potential solutions, ongoing projects, or areas of interest.

After the pitches, participants will have time dedicated to creating ad-hoc teams and coding and networking until 28th  afternoon. The event will conclude with each team or individual presenting their results during a 10-minute final presentation.

The initial keynote, pitch presentations, and final presentations will be livestreamed online and subsequently published on YouTube for wider accessibility and dissemination.

Featured Topics and Technologies

Several ongoing projects and technologies will be highlighted during the camp, including:

  • JackDaw: An AI-driven geospatial tool aimed at enhancing spatial data analysis and decision-making
  • ALIANCE Project Solutions:
  • Precise Weather Forecasting: Leveraging GeoAI for high-resolution, accurate weather prediction.
  • Cloud Removal Technology: AI-based methods for improving satellite imagery by mitigating cloud cover interference.
  • VITISPECTOR: PoC based on hyperlocal weather forecast leveraged by using trained ML/AI modules directly built in the meteostations, was supported through Test-Before-Invest activity of the EDIH CTU applied at a real winery.

In addition to these, other GeoAI solutions and projects are welcomed and encouraged.

Participation of LLM Experts

Experts specializing in Large Language Models (LLMs) are also invited to contribute, as their expertise can enhance GeoAI applications, particularly in data interpretation, automated analysis, and decision-support systems.

Key Opportunities

  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and experts.
  • Engage in the development of new GeoAI solutions.
  • Explore synergies with other European projects and initiatives.
  • Network with leading researchers and practitioners in GeoAI and related fields.

GeoAI Camp 2025 presents a valuable opportunity to advance GeoAI research and development through collective intelligence and shared expertise. You might find interesting collaboration opportunities and participate in future GeoAI projects. We look forward to your participation and contributions.
