Our colleague Francisco Ramos is attending GIS Ostrava 2018: GIS for Safety & Security Management, from March 21st ’til 23rd.

After several editions of the conference, this year the conference will focus to four main types of risks – natural hazards, man-made hazards (including large technical failures like blackouts), security threats (terrorisms, national security, crime, intelligence services) and local risks (traffic accidents, fires and other dwelling accidents). Improvement of GI-technologies should support the collaboration of emergency services, law enforcement, military, and intelligence staff, as well as central and local governance, researchers, and the society.

Francisco will present the paper titled “Improving the user knowledge and user experience by using Augmented Reality in a Smart City context” make in conjunction with our Erasmus Mundus Master student Pravesh Yagol.

We hope Francisco has a fruitful conference!
