The Philippine Geomatics Symposium (PhilGEOS) is a biennial gathering first organized in 2012 by the University of the Philippines Department of Geodetic Engineering (UPDGE) and the UP Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (UPTCAGP). Since then, PhilGEOS has become one of the Philippines’ premier gatherings of geomatics technology developers, researchers, professionals, users, and students from all over the world.

UPDATE: We have our initial list of Community-contributed Sessions!

The PhilGEOS 2025 organizing committee is happy to announce the list of Community-contributed Sessions.

Geospatial technologies have become indispensable in addressing contemporary challenges that impact human well-being, from public health and urban planning to disaster resilience and environmental sustainability. PhilGEOS 2025 aims to explore the role of geomatics, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and spatial analytics in fostering more livable, resilient, and inclusive societies. By integrating cutting-edge innovations such as digital twins, 3D GIS, and volunteered geographic information, researchers and practitioners can develop data-driven solutions to improve accessibility, equity, and sustainability across multiple domains.

Papers on topics from a broad range of subthemes highlighting the diverse applications of geospatial technologies are welcome for submission. Discussions on public health and disease mapping should focus on the use of GIS in tracking outbreaks, analyzing healthcare accessibility, and managing environmental health risks. For topics on smart cities, papers should explore geospatial techniques to enhance urban mobility, livability, and resource efficiency. These topics may include the integration of AI and spatial analytics in social services, particularly in improving public service delivery and reducing inequalities through data-driven decision-making.

Resilience and sustainability will be key themes, with sessions dedicated to emergency management, climate change adaptation, and environmental sustainability. Papers on innovative uses of geospatial tools for disaster response, risk assessment, renewable energy, and resource management, ensuring that communities are better prepared for environmental and socio-economic challenges, are welcome. Additionally, we invite papers covering the role of geomatics in agriculture and food security, showcasing precision farming, land monitoring, and supply chain optimization as pathways to improving agricultural productivity.

Beyond technical advancements, the conference also invites papers that discuss critical issues of privacy, ethics, and security in human-centered geospatial systems, ensuring responsible data governance and equitable access to geospatial innovations. Other important themes include land administration, transportation and mobility, and cultural heritage preservation, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of geospatial technologies in shaping societies. By bringing together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers, this event will foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation in leveraging geospatial technologies to enhance human quality of life in an increasingly complex world.
