As they do every year, the Department of Geoinformatics and Surveying and the i3mainz – Institute for Spatial Information and Measurement Technology were represented at Intergeo 2018 in Frankfurt from October 16 to 18. Mainz University of Applied Sciences shared a joint booth with the universities of Bochum, Anhalt, and Jade University of Applied Sciences in Oldenburg to present information about their degree programs and i3mainz projects.

One of the highlights of this year’s trade show appearance was a visit by three groups of high school students on October 18, organized by Working Group 1 of the DVW, Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation, and Land Management e.V. Angelique Prüß, who has been supporting the department as an assistant since October, gave the students a tour of the booth and explained what the two fields of geoinformatics and surveying entail. As a former student in this field, she was able to provide those present with in-depth insight into the corresponding bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and highlight the career opportunities that the program offers.
