The 9th intake of the International Master Programme in Cartography has finished the “Vienna Semester” and is now heading to TU Dresden for their third semester. After a full semester of distance learning, we had the chance to meet for a farewell session end of July. It’s been a challenging semester for students as well as lecturers and it’s been great to have the chance to reflect the past 4 months face-to-face.
Guest Lectures
This summer term we had the pleasure to e-host six international guest lecturers who shared their research with our students from the International Master in Cartography:
- Prof. Dariusz Gotlib (TU Warszawa): Selected qualities of mobile maps on the indoor navigation examples
