OUR CONFERENCES

Information Meetings titled
"Geospatial Approaches and Developments in Agriculture and the Environment"

Four meetings 

The GIS Research Unit of the Agricultural University of Athens, in collaboration with the Hellenic Society of Geographic Information Systems, successfully organized 4 informative meetings (on May 9, 16, 23, and 30, 2018) under the theme "Geospatial Approaches and Developments in Agriculture and the Environment"  with Professor Dionysios Kalivas as the coordinator. The participation was substantial (100 participants), and the topics covered a wide range of digital agriculture, focusing on its spatial definition and all the pioneering and modern technologies that have now been integrated into the daily agricultural practices.

All the meetings have been recorded, and you can watch them at http://mediaserver.aua.gr/video/afp.php
