PoliMappers/European Missing Maps Mapathon
About
The European Missing Maps Mapathon was the first mapping event jointly organised by 3 university groups from different European countries: HuMap from UniTrier (Germany), PoliMappers from Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and UNIPO Mappers from University of Prešov (Slovakia). The event was virtually held February 3rd, 2021 - 17:00 CET.
74 people registered to the event for joining groups from European universities and the YouthMappers network for an evening of networking and mapping Europe. During the event, the groups introduced their activities and conducted a training on the use of the MapRoulette platform with tasks suitable for both beginner and advanced mappers. In particular, the participants contributed to the project created by OpenClimateFix, Turning solar panel nodes into areas for better estimation of power - Europe on MapRoulette.
During the ZOOM event, other mapping groups and organisation shared their activities and projects with the audience. In particular, Valerio and Giuseppe from Map for Future (Italy) shared the results and perspective of their project in collaboration with the local community of Somaliland. Also Kelly from CartONG (France) talked about the active programs and future plans of her association.
