The 2nd Sirindhorn Conference on Geo-informatics aims to provide a forum to exchange ideas and experiences on space technology and geo-informatics through applications, study cases and practical experiences. Sirindhorn Center for Geo-Informatics
Sirindhorn Center for Geo-Informatics (SCGI) is established under the cooperation between the Ministry of Science and Technology of Thailand by Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Public Organization) : GISTDA, and Wuhan University by State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing : LIESMARS, the People’s Republic of China.
Objective
The SCGI serves as the international institute for research and knowledge/technology transfer in space technology and geo-informatics.
Mission
To be an international center of technology transfer, research, including an incubator for space technology and geo-informatics
Enhancing the human capacity building and awareness raising in space technology and geo-informatics through training courses, workshops, special lectures, and seminars
Promoting and supporting collaborative research projects, exchange of personnel, innovative applications
Benefits
The country is serving as the international center on research and technology transfer in space technology and geo-informatics.
SCGI will increase personnel capacity in the area of space technology and geo-informatics and raise awareness for all levels; public sectors, educational institutes, and private sectors.
The outputs/outcomes from various research projects, development, and innovation can enhance our country development.
SCGI will serve as a focal point and expand the network of academic knowledge and research collaboration with sharing research experiences and knowledge development. On behalf of the local organizing committee, I would like to welcome all geospatial communities to attend the 2nd Sirindhorn Conference on Geoinformatics during February 1-2, 2018.
The Sirindhorn Conference on Geo-informatics is under the supervision of Sirindhorn Center of Geo-informatics, which aims to increase and improve the capability of personnel knowledge and innovative research development in the region in space and geo-informatics technology. The Sirindhorn Conference on Geo-informatics was first held on March 21, 2015 at the Space Krenovation Park, Sriracha, Chonburi, Thailand. Following the success in 2015, this year’s conference was held at Centra by Centara Government Complex Hotel & Convention Centre, Chaeng Wattana, Bangkok, Thailand.
Space and geo-informatics technology have been an important tool to help solving many sustainability issues, such as disaster, agriculture, pollution, and natural resource management. Now, we are moving toward the next era, the geo-intelligence, the platform that integrates human society, security, politics, economics, and engineering solutions for global and regional sustainability. This technology and its innovation become part of everyone life though personal devices using internet of things, drone and crowded sensor networks. The integration among these technologies will elevate the quality of living for humankind in the long term.
The various outstanding papers of this conference highlight new development in this geo-intelligent technology. This is therefore a good sign indicating achievement on the latest advancements in the rapidly changing technology. Additionally, it is a great opportunity for you to discover new innovations and applications from around the Asia countries and to build new connections with them as well as to strengthening scientific and technological collaboration.
Once again, I wish everyone an enjoyable conference and hope that the ideas, knowledge, and experiences on a wide range of subjects will help in paving the way for the future direction of the space and geoinformatics technology - testimony Chair of Organizing Committee of the Sirindhorn Conference on Geo-informatics & Executive Director of Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency Ministry of Science and Technology, Thailand.
