conference

From 1 to 4 December 2025, UNGSC, in collaboration with OICT and the UN Geospatial Network, organized the UN Maps Clinic sessions “Enhancing UN Maps – from the field, for the field”, remotely. Participated by more than 350 UN personnel from 67 UN entities, the UN Maps Clinics provided a series of interactive and hands-on sessions that showcased updates of UN Maps features and applications, demonstrated outputs, and gathered feedback for future enhancement. It co-designed the roadmap of UN Maps to better plan the future steps to deliver coordinated support for UN’s daily operational activities.

The Second United Nations Maps Conference took place at the United Nations Information and Communications Technology facility (UNICTF) in Valencia, Spain, between 6 and 10 March 2023. It brought together around 45 entities and external partners to strengthen coordination, collaboration and the capacity of geospatial information to meet global challenges.

The State of The Map, the annual, global OpenStreetMap conference, held this year in Florence, was an opportunity to present the projects carried out in recent months and the results achieved so far, but it was also a time to meet the large community of mappers and to discuss and deepen with them topics such as the educational aspect. Let's take a look at a summary of what happened during those days!
