Welcome#

The Geoinformatics Research Days (GRD) event is the annual gathering for geoinformatics experts, which has been organized by the member universities of the Finnish University Network for Geoinformatics (FIUGINET) for over 10 years. The event will take place on 10–12 May 2027, and will be organized by University of Helsinki together with the FIUGINET network, hosted in Helsinki, Finland.

The three days bring together keynotes, parallel presentation sessions, and time for networking. The event is held in English, and while it is a national gathering, participants from outside Finland are warmly welcome too.
