Mapathon: Come and help MSF map Central African Republic

13 November 2019 – University of Luxembourg

Belval Campus

What is a mapathon?

The aim is to map the intervention areas and allow our teams to plan logistical needs, optimise epidemiological surveillance, and ensure coordination with other organisations.

The Mapathon brings together volunteers to enrich the mapping of a defined area.

YOU can contribute: all you need to do is to compare satellite images and report buildings on a common map that will be made available in Open Source to all NGOs worldwide. A team of experts will be on hand to help you.

Where? At the University of Luxembourg, Belval campus – Maison des sciences humaines, 1st floor (GIS Lab)

Free drinks and snacks!
