Cartography M.Sc. graduation ceremony of the 10th intake

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!

Dr Barend Köbben at our Research Unit

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!
