<p style="text-align:justify;">
<a class="link_keynote" href="https://gilbertocamara.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Prof. Dr. Gilberto Câmara</strong></a>
is a Brazilian researcher in Geoinformatics, GIScience, Spatial Analysis, and Land Use
Modelling, who works at Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE). He is internationally recognized
for promoting free access for geospatial data and for setting up an efficient satellite monitoring of the Brazilian

<h3 class= "keynote-topic" style=" text-align: center; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bolder;">“Open Source Geospatial Software: The first 40 years and beyond”</h3>
<p class= "keynote-content">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
The launch of GRASS GIS in 1984 marked the beginning of open-source geospatial software. After four decades, this talk highlights major progress in the field
and provides a vision of upcoming trends. FOSS4G developers need to find a middle ground between standardisation and innovation. Whether de facto or de jure,
standards establish a solid foundation for shared use and collaboration. Solid theory serves as the basis for successful standards. OGC’s Simple Features,
using DE-9IM, has influenced the success of PostGIS, sf in R, and GeoPandas in Python. The backbone of GDAL includes standards like GeoTIFF and JPEG 2000.
Thanks to these standards, commercial and institutional users have widely adopted tools like PostGIS, GDAL, and R-sf.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
As a result of this virtuous cycle, vector-based FOSS4G is now in stasis. On the other hand, raster-based GIS is overflowing with innovation.
Petabytes of open Earth observation (EO) data are now available. The exploration of space-borne sensors leads to significant innovation.
However, no established theory exists for modelling and analysing big EO data. This situation has led to largely incompatible developments, including GeoPandas,
Open Data Cube, OpenEO, and R-sits. Collaboration is necessary among developers of FOSS for big EO data analytics to avoid a winner-takes-all competition.
This talk will conclude with an example of cooperation between the OpenEO and R-sits systems.

<h3 class= "keynote-topic" style=" text-align: center; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bolder;">"The Future of AI-GIS: Challenges and Opportunities"</h3>
<p class= "keynote-content">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
AI is rapidly transforming Geographic Information Systems (GIS), offering new ways to automate data processing, enhance spatial analysis,
and create dynamic visualizations. This integration holds immense potential, enabling faster and more accurate decision-making across
sectors like urban planning and disaster management.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
However, challenges such as data quality, ethical concerns around privacy, and the expertise gap in AI-related skills must be addressed.
Additionally, the computational demands of AI models pose significant barriers. Despite these obstacles, the future of AI in GIS promises
to revolutionize how we interact with geospatial data, unlocking new opportunities for innovation.

<p class= "keynote-content">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
The use of advanced technologies, particularly Google Earth Engine, Google Colab, and Python, offers significant potential for monitoring and analyzing
land cover changes in conservation projects. Focusing on São Miguel Island in the Azores, it discusses the application of these tools to identify the
impacts and successes of conservation interventions.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The talk will demonstrate how the integration of remote sensing data enhances near-real-time monitoring capabilities, providing valuable insights
into the land cover impacts and intervention outcomes of projects supported by the LIFE Nature Programme.

<h3>
Workshop: “Air quality Prediction using Sentinel 5P and machine learning techniques”
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">
Air pollution is the world’s largest environmental health risk, contributing to 7 million premature deaths globally each year, and poor people in
developing countries are the most heavily affected. Low-cost IoT sensor networks on the ground have the potential to close the climate data gaps in sub-Saharan Africa,
but networks are expensive to implement and maintain in African cities.
Satellite-derived PM2.5 estimates based on Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and machine learning techniques can be used to estimate pollution levels over large areas
to help develop interventions such as vulnerability risk profiles for urban spaces, health preservation and environmental protection for affected populations,
as well as community empowerment, and climate change mitigation.
<br />
This workshop is designed for researchers, practitioners, and climate change enthusiasts who have some knowledge of remote sensing data and/or machine learning.

<h3>
Workshop: “Developing an Air Quality Monitoring Dashboard with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and MapLibre GL JS”
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">
Dashboard development is becoming increasingly important. Decision-makers often interact
more effectively with dashboards compared to static maps. Dashboards can convey
information more quickly and interactively, providing intelligent insights. For example, how
many people are affected by poor air quality yearly in your country? Which areas have lower
coverage of monitoring stations? These questions and many more can be answered with a
dashboard. More importantly, dashboards can be updated more frequently and in real-time
compared to static maps.
Additionally, acquiring skills in development is critical for job security, especially as more
organizations demand GIS professionals with programming experiences. If you're someone
who wants to gain technical skills and create products that can enhance your portfolio, then
this workshop is for you.
In this workshop, we will develop an Air Quality Monitoring Dashboard from scratch using
MapLibre GL JS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and other open-source libraries. We will
explore how to connect real-time data sources to provide real-time air quality monitoring. We
will also add interactivity and summary statistics, integrating beautiful charts and metrics to
drive decision-making.
Finally, the concept that will be learned in this workshop will be adaptable to developing
dashboards for other climate change metrics, or other WebGIS development tasks in
general.
<br><br>
<u>Workshop Goals:</u>
To ensure you understand how these technologies and framework works such that
you can know how and where to start the next time you have a similar project.
To ensure that you deploy your version of air quality dashboard for your city of
interest so you can put it on your portfolio.
<br><br>
<u>Workshop Outline:</u><br>
First Hour:
Introduction to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Tailwind CSS.
Overview of industry-standard web (gis) frameworks and styling libraries.
<br><br>
Second Hour:

<h4 style="color: #0c2138; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">WORKSHOP: <br>Open data and models for mapping ecosystem services
</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
Ecosystem services (ES) are the benefits provided to humans by the natural environment, such as clean air, natural pollination, drought regulation, food from agriculture, climate regulation, etc. Providing Information about ES for decision-making is essential to preserve their supply and, consequently, their benefits to society. Making these services visible through the mapping of biophysical, social and economic indicators enables understanding of potential trade-offs and the design of conservation strategies. The provision of ES is influenced by land cover changes (LCC) and efficient land use planning is required for maintaining ES flow. Land use planning can be supported by ES-based modelling tools to estimate ES supply based on land cover. In this workshop we explore available open data and models which can be used for ES modelling and mapping. A hands-on exercise using an InVEST model will be carried out.
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
This workshop will provide a perspective on existing open datasets and models to work with ES. It will also promote the importance of the ecosystem services concept for sustainability and human well-being through the results obtained for FCT ASEBIO project (PTDC/CTA-AMB/28438/2017, https://asebio.novaims.unl.pt). In the end of this workshop, participants will:
<ul>
<li>Understand the ES concept and its importance for human well-being;</li>
<li>Know where to find open datasets and models (e.g. InVEST) for assessing ES with GIS;</li>
<li>Learn how to calculate ES indicators using InVEST.</li>
