Welcome to the website of the Research Unit Cartography at TU Wien. We are one of the seven research units that form the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation.
We are a proud partner university of the International Master of Cartography.At this year’s International Cartographic Conference in Vancouver/Canada, our student Juliette Bricker won the Best Student Paper Award for her presentation “The Qualitative Development and Evaluation of a New User Perspective Map”. In her presentation, she showed initial findings from her master’s thesis on the innovative “Around-you” map format she developed. Juliette is currently completing her thesis at the Research Unit Cartography, TU Wien, co-supervised by Florian Ledermann and Sacha Schlumpf.
You can read more about an earlier version of Juliette’s innovative map here.
Congratulations, Juliette!
Would you like to see the maps that our students have created? Here, you can view in detail the maps they created for the Project Map Creation course this year, which was supervised by Manuela Schmidt and Camila Narbaitz Sarsur. Enjoy your visit!

Thank you, Camila, for setting up the exhibition!
What a semester. Wednesday 25.06.2025 was a day of celebration as we held the farewell ceremony for all our wonderful cartography students!
It was also the occasion of the annual map exhibition, where students present their semester-long projects. As part of the Project Map Creation course, supervised by Manuela Schmidt and Camila Narbaitz Sarsur, each student had the opportunity to create a unique map using the techniques of their choice. And, wow, what great projects!
We wish all the best to the students for their next semester, at TU Dresden, and for their cartographic career!
