Continue reading “Best Paper Award goes to Silvia Klettner”We congratulate our student Jakob Listabarth for being a winner at the Monochrome Mapping Competition 2019 with his purely magenta map “The Lost Treasures of la Isla del Coco”, which he created within the class Project Map Creation this summer semester.
From the jury statement:
When doing monochrome design, cartographers can only use one “ink” color, but most of us at least use various tints of that ink: basically, mixing it with the background color to create a continuous ramp of colors (e.g., greyscale) that we can use to distinguish rivers, contours, and other feature types from each other. Continuous monochrome is tough enough, but Jakob Listabarth takes the challenge even further and uses this map’s sole ink at 100% strength only. He is only able to distinguish feature types from each other using line weight, dot/dash patterns, and hachure shading. This he does excellently, and I continue to be impressed by how much information is shown, and how clearly each layer is distinguished from the others when they are all, after all, exactly the same version of magenta.
It’s not only an attractive aesthetic choice, but one that ties into the map’s subject. In the 19th century cartographers were usually likewise limited to representing features using ink lines, printed from engraved copper plates. Listabarth still puts a modern spin on things with the sans serif typography and charming (whimsical?) illustrations. It’s a lovely blending of old and new.

Das Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Innovation und Technologie (BMVIT) vergab am 10. Mai 2010 erstmals den Gender Award an Projekte aus den Förderungsprogrammen “Intelligente Verkehrssysteme und Services plus” (IV2Splus) und TAKE OFF mit dem Ziel, die teilweise noch geringe Beteiligung von Wissenschafterinnen in den Forschungs- und Technologieprogrammen kontinuierlich zu steigern. Durch die Vorbildwirkung der prämierten Projekte soll die Bedeutung von Chancengleichheit und Gender-Aspekten in Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E) unterstrichen werden.
Wir freuen uns, dass zu den PreisträgerInnen des Gender Awards auch das Konsortium von ways2navigate gehört.

On December 11, 2009 the Geo Education Awards for excellent achievements in teaching in the field of geodesy at TU Vienna were awarded for the first time.
The selection process for the award is two-stage: the selection of nominees is based on the results of the student’s online teaching evaluation. The prize winners are choosen by the dean for academic affairs, the chairman of the committee for studies and two student representatives. The prize can be given to senior as well as junior teachers.
For the first Geo Education Awards ceremony the speakers were the dean for mathematics and geoinformation Prof. Dietmar Dorninger and the vice rector for academic affairs Prof. Adalbert Prechtl. In the first ceremony the awards were given for the previous two academic years.
We congratulate the winners and thank for their commitment!
