Abstract
The Institute of Cartography and Geoinformation consists of two professorships with several research groups employs approximately 40 people. The Institute of Cartography was founded in 1925 by Professor Eduard Imhof. It is the world’s oldest university institute for cartography. Eduard Imhof is one of the founders of modern academic cartography. Today, the Institute is striving to uphold its leading position in cartography by further developing its existing knowledge to incorporate new areas of application, particularly interactive cartographic applications. Geoinformation engineering deals with the analysis, representation, modelling and visualisation of spatiotemporal decision-making processes and integrates models like these into mobile geoinformation services and spatial information technologies. Students are taught how to acquire, model and visualise geoinformation, as well as how to use it for general and domain-specific applications of spatial information systems. The courses in cartography are part of the Bachelor’s in Geomatics and Planning or the Master’s in Geomatics. The subjects can also be taken as a minor in the frame of geography studies at the Universities of Bern and Zurich. Mehr anzeigen
