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.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!

Our student Juliette Bricker has won the Arthur Robinson Award for Best Printed Map in the 2024 Map Design Competition organized by the Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS) for her outstanding work called “Wien 360 (Vienna 360)”.
This prestigious award recognizes excellence in maps or map series created specifically for print or static media. As part of this honor, Juliette’s map will be added to the Library of Congress collection.
Juliette designed the “Wien 360 (Vienna 360)” map during her second semester in the MSc Cartography program at TU Wien, as part of the course “Project Map Creation”. The map was also showcased at the “EuroCarto 2024” conference.
