The second Maria de Maeztu Strategic Research Program (CEX2021-001195-M) of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) takes place between 2023 and 2026. The website for this program is under construction. You can find some details in this news.
The first María de Maeztu Strategic Research Program (MDM-2015-0502) took place between January 2016 and June 2020. It was focused on data-driven knowledge extraction, boosting synergistic research initiatives across our different research areas.
In 2016, DTIC-UPF and Médicos Sin Fronteras - Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and MissingMaps started a collaboration in order to promote the creation and consolidation of a network of people in Barcelona willing to support MSF via the crowdsourced annotation of maps in Open Street Maps. The aim of the Missing Maps Project is to map the most crisis-prone parts of the developing world. With your help we can directly improve the lives of some of the planet’s most vulnerable people.
During 2016, 3 mapathon events were hosted at UPF. It is expected to expand these events to other universities in Barcelona for 2017. Join the Facebook group to keep informed about next events!
On 2019, Esther Motjer, alumni of Biomedical Engineering, organised a new mapathon at our Campus.
In 2016, the November mapathon took place in the context of the Science Week, as part of the celebrations around the International Year of Maps.
