In Salzburg, everything revolves around geoinformatics in the first week of July. After two years, the Research Studio iSPACE is finally live on site again this year.
The GI_Salzburg is the annual meeting point for innovation, networking and education from all areas of geoinformatics. Interdisciplinary discussions, forward-looking ideas and a personal atmosphere accompany and shape the exchange of science and research, business and application.
Under the motto “Designing Future with Geoinformatics”, the Research Studio iSPACE will also present its research. Visitors will be able to see for themselves and learn more about the successful projects in the fields of Smart Settlement Systems, Smart 4D Environments and Smart Energy Balances.
In cooperation with the Paris Lodron University (PLUS) Salzburg and especially with the Department of Geoinformatics Z_GIS, the Research Studio iSPACE of the RSA FG is working to advance the transfer of knowledge and innovation from geoinformatics into socially relevant application areas.
The Research Studio iSPACE Smart 4D Environments will also have a presentation on Thursday, July 7, 2022:

This article describes results from the WISS 2025 research project “aWHEREness:lab” and demonstrates new possibilities for processing and exploiting industrial IoT data in the context of the digital transformation of Industry 4.0 by linking and harmonizing them. Linking IoT data of the physical world from Operation Technology (OT) with digital data from organizations and companies via web service interfaces enables the construction of a digitally connected and intelligent environment. This aims to build digital twins of the environment for the digital twins of machines and other ‘assets’ operating within it. This opens up new possibilities for near real-time visualization and temporally dynamic simulation in GIS in terms of GeoIoT (Geo Internet of Things).
