Overview
GEOWEEK is the primereunion of academia and industry of the Geospatial community of Sri Lanka. This salient event is launched in 2021 by Sri Lanka’s most prestigious research and development body in the field of Geospatial Science, the Faculty of Geomatics. Simply, the GEOWEEK can be inferred as the brainchild of Mr. PGV Abeyratne, the present Dean of the Faculty of Geomatics.
The GEOWEEK facilitates the industry leaders to showcase their cutting-edge technologies that were invented by their overseas principals through trade exhibitions. Further, it builds up the wisdom of the geospatial community by offering various workshops together with industry leaders. Further, the platform enables spaces to showcase several panel discussions and summit-level forums to acculturate the global knowledge within the locality. In year 2022, GEOWEEK expects toexpand its horizon not only among professionals but also among kids by providing a room to share their genuine thoughts about their surrounding via a map drawing competition. Besides, specifically targeted programs will be arranged to uplift geospatial knowledge of the school students’ communityas well.
Additionally, the prominence of the research component in GEOWEEK is presented under the banner of GEOSYM2022. This is the international Geomatics symposium organized by the Faculty of Geomatics for the second time.
