The 9th International Conference on Cartography and GIS will take place in Nessebar, Bulgaria from 16 to 21 June 2024. The ICCGIS is a biannual conference that began in 2006 and has been held every two years since (except for 2020). In total, the Conference has attracted attendees from more than 60 countries and has published more than 700 scientific papers in its proceedings.

The aim of the conference is to collect knowledge and share experiences about the latest achievements in the field of cartography and GIS. Multiple parallel events will take place during the conference, including annual meetings of ICA commissions and a special ISDE plenary session. There will also be a Seminar on Disaster Risk Reduction – Solutions and Innovations.

The Geospatial Council of Australia’s World Hydrography Day Seminar will dive deep into the latest advancements in hydrographic surveying, mapping technologies and data analysis techniques.

The event will give delegates the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences and learn from industry leaders at the forefront of marine charting and exploration.

For both seasoned experts and those just starting out in the field, the event promises invaluable insights and networking opportunities to enhance skills and advance careers.

The 9th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and their international partners involved in the use of Galileo and other GNSS in their research.

The colloquium will address several major areas of research:

• Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geodynamics, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies.
• Scientific developments in physics with a potential impact on future GNSS, particularly in testing fundamental laws of physics.
• Aspects of metrology such as reference frames, on board and ground clocks, precise orbit determination and time and frequency transfer.
• Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications.
• Other topics of interest such as big data, IoT, novel disruptive technologies, Cubesats, HAPS, UAVs and autonomous vehicles.
• Systems and technologies for navigation in space.
