We have partnered with EUthmappers, a project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and supported by Politecnico di Milano, Italy, to advance the goal to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) knowledge in secondary schools in Europe by training teachers and students on collaborative geospatial information.

In February 2025, UN Mappers have adopted the #ValidationFriday campaign. The campaign is about focusing on verifying features mapped in our active projects every Friday.

On the occasion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, we are offering our volunteers a truly exceptional competition: the UN Mappers Mapping Championship! Test your mapping skills, map with us, and climb to the podium!

We are excited to announce the completion of our project to fix disconnected roads in Somalia, a testimonial to the dedication and hard work of the vibrant UN mapping community. 

To learn more about the interest in potentially training and joining a UN Mappers Validation Group, and more broadly about the validation practices of the global OSM community, the UN Maps crowdsourcing team has run this survey among community.

The recently concluded GEOdaysIT conference that was held from June 12th to June 17th at the Politecnico di Bari and the University of Bari showcased the potential of Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) and open geospatial information.

Charles Donkor is one of the trainees who actively participated in our recent "OSM and Humanitarian Mapping" training. During the evaluation of the homework required by the training, we discovered that Charles was doing a lot of mapping in his hometown and asked him to share his experience.
