"Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iaşi (TUIASI) has the oldest tradition in engineering education and research in Romania. Since its foundation, TUIASI has given priority to research, interdisciplinary approach, innovation, teaching and internationalisation. The main goal of developing "technology for the people around us" has always been at the core of TUIASI’s research, teaching and technological transfer activities.

Romanian Surveyors Union (UGR) is a professional, independent, non-government and non-political organization, with a non-working character. It was established in 1990 through the initiative of geodetic engineers. One of the UGR objectives is to increase the prestige of geodesy and professional authority of surveyors. The UGR sustain and protect the professional and economic interests of its members, while presenting and promoting the importance of surveying activities. UGR initiate and propose laws regarding the surveying activities and surveyor role. Today UGR counts almost 1.100 members, organized in 47 local associations. Romanian Surveyors Union is member of FIG.

At the Faculty of Hydrotechnics, Geodesy and Environmental Engineering, belonging to the "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, organizing the "GEOMAT" International Symposium has become a tradition, this year being the eighth edition. The idea of organizing and continuously developing the scale of events arose as a result of the initiative of the Department of Surveying and Cadastre.

Since 2017, the Young Photogrammetrists Association provides logistical support for the organization of the GEOMAT international symposium. Young researchers and students are encouraged to actively participate at the conference activities, to be well prepared to challenges that will occur through accelerated development of technology and also to concepts from the field of geomatics and environmental sciences.

The Faculty of Geodesy has an important tradition in the geodetic engineer education in Romania, which began in Bucharest in 1818, at the St. Sava School under the leadership of Gheorghe Lazar, in Romanian language. On the campus of Lacul Tei Blvd., Geodesy has been operating as a specialty since 1955, and in 1990 it became a faculty. The faculty has three departments: the Department of Surveying and Cadastre, the Department of Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and the Department of Physics. The research activity is conducted within the Research Center for Geodetic Engineering Measurements and Spatial Data Infrastructures (MGDIIS) and Research Center for Spatial Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and GIS (GEOS).

Since its establishment in 1991, the "1 decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia has defined its mission starting from the national significance of Alba Iulia and the area, the educational ideal being based on the valuable traditions of the Romanian high school. For over a quarter of a century, the University of Alba Iulia aims to contribute, through specific ways of education, research and value creation, to the preservation and affirmation of national identity, to the unity in diversity of Romanian culture, to its active integration in the European and universal circuit of values.

We are gladly welcoming all the participants!
