Founded in 2015, NODE is a student association linked to the master program Geographical Information Management and Application, or GIMA in short. As this master is spread out over four Dutch universities (Delft, Enschede, Utrecht and Wageningen) and it attracts multiple foreign students, a link between all the students was needed. NODE is the direct result of this need. Our main goal is to bring the GIMA students together, both inside and outside of the contact weeks. To achieve this goal, activities are organized with either a focus on the informal or education.

MISSING MAPS MAPATHON

At Wednesday the 27th of March there will be a Missing Maps Mapathon in Wageningen! This event is organized together with Nieuwland Geo-Information and it will take place at their office in Wageningen. During this evening, someone of the Red Cross organization will give us an introduction and afterwards we will map vulnerable areas with the help of satellite images. Nieuwland will provide us with free pizza and drinks. More information can be found here, together with the registration link: http://www.nieuwlandgeo.nl/missing-maps-mapathon/. 

We are welcome from 17.00h and the introduction starts at 17.45h. For first year GIMA students, this is directly after the lectures at the WUR so we can cycle/take the bus together to Nieuwland. There are limited places available so please don’t forget to sign up if you want to be sure to join this event!
