At this year’s International Cartographic Conference in Vancouver, Canada, our student Juliette Bricker from the 13th intake won the Best Student Paper Award for her presentation “The Qualitative Development and Evaluation of a New User Perspective Map”. In her presentation, she showed initial findings from her master’s thesis on the innovative “Around-you” map format she developed. Juliette has just successfully defended her thesis at the Research Unit Cartography, TU Wien, co-supervised by Florian Ledermann and Sacha Schlumpf.
