GEO-Day

Information Event

Open day of the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation

GEO-Day is the open day of the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation at the Vienna University of Technology. The event was launched in 2018 to raise awareness of the Geodesy and Geoinformation degree programme and give interested parties the opportunity to spend a day getting a taste of the world of satellite data, laser scanners, virtual/augmented reality tools and much more. The GEO-Day is primarily aimed at pupils or school classes and (prospective) students, but alumni, friends and family are also welcome guests.

GEO-Day has been held at the Technical University's Freihaus since 2024. The morning is traditionally reserved for school classes: The aim is to explain and familiarise pupils with the application areas of surveying, earth observation, laser scanning, robotics, geosciences and much more using practical stations, experiments and short presentations. At almost all stations, there are things to try out for yourself, because our aim is to make science ‘tangible’ and to convey it in a playful way.

In the afternoon, a large number of companies will be on site to provide an insight into the world of work. This is the ideal environment for students to get in touch with companies and secure jobs and internships. Prospective students can obtain information and advice on the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in Geodesy and Geoinformation. As in the morning, there are also many opportunities to try out hands-on research at the department for themselves.

In the evening, there will then be a get-together in a cosy atmosphere. Drinks and snacks will be provided by the Geodesy and Geoinformation student council.
