UJI Master’s Students Named UN Mappers of the Month – December 2025

Since 2022, UJI has collaborated with the UN Mappers Team to introduce students to OpenStreetMap, open data, and open-source geospatial tools, alongside dedicated UN Maps training sessions. These activities allow students to engage directly with real UN use cases, gaining hands-on experience in collaborative mapping, data quality, and field-to-office workflows.

The most recent training, held in November 2025 with UN Maps expert Michael Montani, was particularly well received. Students worked with both desktop and mobile mapping tools and learned how crowd-sourced geospatial data is integrated into UN operational processes. Participant testimonials highlight the strong educational value of the training and its impact on students’ motivation to contribute to mission-driven, humanitarian mapping initiatives.
