The Geodetic Colloquium at KIT is an event where speakers from science, industry, and administration give lectures on current topics in geodesy and geoinformatics.
datesAt the GIK scientists from different fields of geodesy and geoinformatics teach and research. Our topics concern objects in industrial production as well as spatio-temporal geodata or the System Earth.
The scales considered range from micrometers to light-years in space and from fractions of a second to centuries in time. The institute consists of three professorships and has a collegial institute management.
Together with the Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (IPF), it supports the German-language B.Sc. and M.Sc. courses "Geodesy and Geoinformatics" and the English-language M.Sc. course "Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics".

In the course of the Corona Pandemic, the Geodetic Colloquium was held for the first time in the form of online presentations with great success.
The lectures for the winter semester 2020/21 are currently being prepared. Due to the current situation, they will again be held as online events. Further information including the exact schedule will follow after the summer break at this point.
On this occasion, a commemorative publication was produced which provides a historical overview of the Institute's development in research, teaching and innovation. Ongoing research work and current results are presented as well as activities and perspectives in teaching.
The commemorative publication has been published in the publication series of the KIT study program Geodesy and Geoinformatics.
