HeiGIT started as a university project 10 years ago. Today, we are a non-profit organization with 70+ people and dozens of running projects on open-source geodata, GIS software and research for the benefit of the environment and society. A great reason to celebrate at our team retreat this week! 🎂

#Fieldwork summer 2025 was a very special one. In the #Austrian Alps the good weather periods were very limited and only spontaneous campaigns were possible. Gladly, we were able to capture highly valuable 3D LiDAR data for our new research projects in Austria such as at the #Schesaplana mountain.
