Florian Ledermann has successfully defended his dissertation titled “Empirical assessment of minimum dimensions for cartographic symbology on smartphone displays “.
His supervisor was Prof. Georg Gartner from our Research Unit Cartography; reviewers were Prof. Anthony Robinson from Penn State University and Prof. Liqiu Meng from TU Müchen.
Congratulations, Dr. Ledermann, and all the best for your future!
On Friday, the 2nd of December, the Research Unit of Cartography at the Vienna University of Technology hosted the Cartography M.Sc. graduation ceremony. This year, 24 students successfully graduated from the Cartography M.Sc. programme. Eight of them revisited TU Vienna for graduation, which was in hybrid mode. The thesis semester coordinator Barend Köbben from the University of Twente, and the Cartography M.Sc. programme coordinator, Juliane Cron, from the Technical University of Munich, ran the ceremony and granted the graduation certificates.
The students accomplished their master’s theses during the summer semester at one of the four partner universities: the Technical University of Munich, Vienna University of Technology, Technical University of Dresden and the University of Twente. The published theses of the 10th intake can be found at https://cartographymaster.eu/theses/.
We congratulate all students on the completion of their studies!

Wem TISS, TUWEL, PublDB, SAP, Schlüsselbuch, GUT, FWF, FFG, WWF, LBS und unzählige andere Abkürzungen nichts sagen: Das sind nur einige der Systeme, Organisationsformen, Datenbanken die sich Violet Derman im Laufe ihrer Dienstzeit als Sekretärin am Institut für Kartographie und Reproduktionstechnik, später Institut für Kartographie und Geo-Medientechnik, später Forschungsbereich Kartographie, später Research Unit Cartography, angeeignet und beherrscht hat!
In den Jahrzehnten im Dienste der akademischen Kartographie gab es keine einzige Zahl, keinen Beistrich und kein Wort, die von Violet Derman falsch eingegeben worden wäre, auch wenn Begriffe, Namen und Bezeichnungen die Internationalisierung der Universitäten und der Entwicklung der Kartographie widerspiegeln!
Iby, wie sie von allen genannt wurde, hat zahlreiche Mitarbeiter, Studenten und Kollegen kommen und gehen gesehen, sie blieb immer eine Anlaufstation für kleinere und größere Probleme und eine Anlaufstelle für Austausch.
Die ihr eigene Verlässlichkeit, Freundlichkeit und Kompetenz ist in unserer schnelllebigen und hektischen Zeit selten geworden, wir verdanken dir alle viel!
Am wichtigsten war mir und uns aber immer, dass du einfach ein netter Mensch bist!
Danke für Alles!
Die “Kartographen”

Dr Barend Köbben from ITC of the University of Twente visited our Research Unit Cartography in April 2022. The excellent and close cooperation of the four partner universities of the International MSc Cartography has reached a new level of engagement, with having Dr Köbben contributing significantly to the teaching of the class “Cartographic Information Systems” during the “Vienna Semester”. Besides this, his role as Thesis Semester Coordinator of the MSc Cartography programme was used to inform and steer the current 4th Semester master students accordingly.
We are thankful for Barend’s visit and his most beneficial contribution!
