V SPIE 2026

V Seminar on Geospatial Information Research is a scientific event dedicated to the dissemination and discussion of research, methods, and applications in the field of Geospatial Information.

The seminar brings together undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and professionals from Engineering, Geography, Urban Planning, and related fields. Its main objective is to foster the exchange of knowledge in areas such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, Cartography, Spatial Analysis, Geospatial Data Science, and GeoAI, with emphasis on urban and environmental applications.

Since its creation in 2017, SPIE has evolved from a local academic initiative to a broader scientific forum. The 2026 edition aims to strengthen national and international research networks and provide a platform for presenting ongoing and completed research, particularly those addressing contemporary challenges through data-driven and geospatial approaches.
