The Society of Geoinformatics Engineers (SGE) was founded in 2004 and since then the society has grown exponentially in creating exposure, nurturing students and bringing in innovative ideas and technologies in the domain of Geoinformatics. This year ’ s GeoHorizon’23 opens up new windows of opportunity for the future Geomatics Engineers to hone their core knowledge and skills, learn from the best, showcase their talents and interests, and carry on the legacy that this Society has held on for so many years.
This year ’ s edition of SPATIA takes learnings from the previous editions, and adds on with the new set of technology and minds in the fields of Remote Sensing and GIS. With innovative ideas and useful insights from both the current as well as the alumni student community, SPATIA’23 holds a holistic point of view and aims to inculcate in the minds of its readers, the vitality of integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills to solve real-world problems
As a Professor and Director of Institute of Remote Sensing (IRS), Anna University, I commend the entire student community of Geoinformatics at IRS for working together tirelessly in making this edition of SPATIA a worthwhile and enriching repository of Geoinformation. My sincere and abundant gratefulness goes towards the professors and faculty of IRS for their constant support and guidance to the students in making GeoHorizon’23 a successful and memorable event
There is never a limit to learning, it’s about the passion that drives us towards achieving higher goals I wish the student community to aim big and work towards it with utmost sincerity and effort.
Dr. S. Jayalakshmi, President, SGE
Associate Professor, IRS
It gives me immense pride and pleasure to be the President of the Society of Geoinformatics Engineers (SGE), a society filled with unique and innovative minds I feel proud to be leading a versatile group of geomatics engineers, who have put in maximum efforts to bring about yet another successful edition of Geohorizon’23, our annual inter-college Symposium.
A 3-day symposium comprising both events and workshops, GeoHorizon’23 aims to enhance the students’ interest and exposure in the field of Geoinformatics. The annual magazine, SPATIA, brings about tons of information in remote sensing and GIS sectors. This year ’ s edition strives to inculcate various dimensions of content, including articles by students highlighting the course ’ s significance to solve real-time problems, insights from alumni, future career opportunities and the like.
With the untiring efforts and contribution from the student community at Institute of Remote Sensing (IRS), GeoHorizon’23 with SPATIA’23 will surely create a better understanding of Geoinformatics, and motivate many young minds to pursue their career and research in this field and provide their bit to the community
