Czech Association for Geoinformation

What Czech Association for Geoinformation does

The Czech Association for Geoinformation (CAGI, Česká asociace pro geoinformace, z.s.) is an independent Czech civic association founded in 1997, headquartered at Novotného lávka 5, Prague 1. It functions as a cross-sector professional platform connecting public administration, academia, and the private GIS industry around spatial information systems and geoinformation infrastructure. Its primary activities are the operation of two annual conference series — GIVS (Geoinformace ve veřejné správě, running since 2007, 19th edition in 2026) and GISPLAN (GIS v plánování měst a regionů, running since at least 2015, 9th edition in 2026) — and the delivery of accredited continuing education courses in remote sensing, UAV, LIDAR, 3D GIS, and terrain analysis, accredited by the Czech Ministry of the Interior under Act No. 312/2002 Coll. CAGI also maintains three standing professional expert groups (OS21 for GIS and spatial planning, OS26 for GeoInfoStrategie, and OS27 for education) that interface with ministries on national spatial information policy, and it provides patronage for the annual GISáček student competition at VŠB-TU Ostrava.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• EUROGI: European Umbrella Organisation for Geographic Information — a pan-European federation of national GI associations. Directly comparable to CAGI as a higher-tier umbrella promoting GI policy and knowledge sharing, of which CAGI is itself a member-type counterpart at the national level.
• GSDI Association: Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association — international non-profit promoting spatial data infrastructure and INSPIRE-aligned policy worldwide. Directly comparable to CAGI's role in national spatial information strategy and INSPIRE-related cooperation with the Czech Ministry of Environment.
• DVW e.V. (German Society for Geodesy, Geoinformation and Land Management): German national professional society for geodesy and geoinformation and the organizer of INTERGEO, the world's largest geospatial trade fair. Comparable to CAGI as a larger national GI association in a neighboring Central European market with analogous conference, education, and policy roles.

Regional players

• ASPRS (American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing): US professional society for photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geospatial information science. Comparable to CAGI's remote sensing and UAV/LIDAR educational focus and conference programming, but North American in scope.
• URISA (Urban and Regional Information Systems Association): US-based association for GIS professionals in urban and regional planning. Comparable to CAGI in mission (supporting public-sector GIS use in planning and infrastructure), but operates in a different geography.

Others

• Geospatial Media and Communications (Geospatial World): Global geospatial media, events, and consulting company. Comparable to CAGI in organizing major geospatial conferences and producing thought-leadership content, but operates as a commercial media business rather than a non-profit member association.
• FIG (International Federation of Surveyors): International federation of national surveying and cadastral associations. Thematically related to CAGI through surveying, cadastre, and geomatics topics addressed in CAGI's conferences, but with a broader surveyor-professional scope.
• ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing): Global scientific society for photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences. Thematically adjacent to CAGI's remote sensing and GIScience scope, but operates at a global scientific-academic level rather than national policy and practitioner education.
