On October 3rd to 5th, 2025, the global State of the Map (SotM) conference was held in Manila, Philippines and remotely. Attended by nearly 350 participants, the conference gathered diverse contributors and open mapping communities from all over the world - mappers, community activists, open source developers, university researchers, and GIS professionals.
Co-creating the UN Mappers Ambassadors and Chapters Initiative
Building upon the success and best practices of other open mapping communities, we are exploring to set up a UN Mappers Ambassadors and Chapter initiative to expand the community and establish a community-owned data production and sustainability.
UN Mappers collaborates with EUthmappers to bring Open Mapping in secondary schools in Europe
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.
