Pune

Symbiosis International Deemed University is a Category-I University of India declared by Univer-sity Grant Commission India and is ranked under top 50 universities in India. The University has MOU's of collaboration with several renowned uni-versities of the world and encourages students and faculty to participate in its programmes.

Symbiosis Institute of Geoinformatics, SIU

Symbiosis Institute of Geoinformatics (SIG) is the constituent of Symbiosis International Deemed Uni-versity. SIG was launched in 2004, with a vision to create a trained human resource to meet future in-dustry and society demands of this developing tech-nology and the welfare of the society at large. In the past ten years, a number of mile stones have been achieved, with a warm hearted response of the industry and national and international collabora-tions in areas of national importance. With multiple disciplines, research and development, SIG has the potential to become a Centre of Excellence for Geo-spatial technology and also train manpower, provide technical knowledge and nurture entrepreneurship to assist the younger generation in the application of GIS in national and international projects. Symbio-sis Institute of Geoinformatics is the first education institute from India to become a Data analysis node (DAN) member of Sentinel Asia.

Infrastructure at Symbiosis Institute of Geoin-formatics

SIG has state of the art infrastructure for Remote Sensing, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Photogrammetry and GNSS. The laboratories are equipped with the latest version of GIS and image processing software. The Institute is equipped with high speed internet connectivity, servers to cater to the requirement of researchers. SIG is working on different national level projects on disaster manage-ment, climate change and infrastructure develop-ment.

About the Orientation Program in Geospatial

Technologies

The three day orientation program in geospatial technologies supported by the Natural Resource Da-ta Management System of the Department of Sci-ence and Technology, Government of India will fo-cus on ‘Spatial Data Analytics and Current Trends’.

Geospatial Technology is on now in the transition phase due to advancements and disruptive technolo-gies like machine learning, artificial intelligence

and predictive modelling. The current training pro-gramme will focus on the basic technology (Remote sensing and GIS) and their integration with applica-tions using the current trend of the technology with examples from different domains.
