Lecture 'Meet the PhD Jury: Evolution and Research of Modern Cartography'

Georg Gartner is a Full Professor of Cartography at the Vienna University of Technology. In his lecture, he will discuss the shift in cartography from traditional map-making to dynamic, service-oriented models. He will emphasize the evolving role of maps in meeting the deep-rooted human need for spatial information, facilitated by advancements in technology such as augmented reality and potential brain-computer interfaces.

This shift is directing cartographic research towards more personalized, user-centric approaches that integrate closely with human sensory and cognitive systems, redefining how spatial data is processed and presented.
