Last week, the Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS at the University of Salzburg was hosting a week full of knowledge exchange, networking and inspiration. The GI_Week in Salzburg has been a unique opportunity to meet experts in the field, to discuss the latest research in and outside many different sessions, or start a new project over a cup of coffee or during a walk on the premises of the University of Salzburg’s Faculty of Natural Sciences. 
While the organizers decided to hold the GI_Forum2021 once again as a virtual conference, the German-language AGIT was realized as a hybrid-event.
Additionally, the International Symposium on Digital Earth (ISDE) took place for the 12th time in 2021. The department of Geoinformatics-Z_GIS was organizing this conference together with GI_Forum and AGIT in July 2021. Contributions to ISDE 2021 will be published as “special issue” of the GI_Forum Journal Issue 1.
UNIGIS Salzburg was hosting a table in the virtual lounge, where students, alumni, teachers and staff members met for an informal chat. Additionally the UNIGIS study programmes were presented in the virtual Expo.
