What was the forum about?

The 6th Uni-Biznes GPS Forum aimed to integrate talented and ambitious students who participate in research clubs daily with potential employers operating in the geodetic, geoinformatics, and geodesic industries. The forum consisted of three stages, which made it possible to present the achievements and research trends in academic units and indicated the directions of the companies' development.
