In the course of the seminar, Professor Josef Strobl delivered a presentation on the role of geospatial technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in monitoring and evaluating Sustainable Development Goal indicators. He also provided a comprehensive overview of international experience and projects being implemented within the framework of the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet network.
Particular attention was given to the significance of cooperation between the Academy and the Eurasia-Pacific Uninet network in advancing international scientific collaboration. Professor Strobl noted that the Academy’s designation as an official partner institution of the EPU network for 2026 and the awarding of the corresponding certificate represent an important milestone in strengthening international academic and research cooperation.

The network promotes scientific cooperation and academic exchange among universities, research institutions, and scholars across Europe and Asia.
