01 Vision

Transforming georeferenced data into strategic clarity.

In a context of profound spatial mutations, artificial intelligence and geomatics are establishing themselves as major strategic levers for territorial decision-making.

The challenge is to transform this data into relevant information, directly accessible to territorial stakeholders.

The ist seminar creates an interdisciplinary space bringing together researchers, professionals, and institutions to build smart, adaptive, and sustainable territories.

The Pillars.

Four strategic axes of research, debate, and contribution.

Strategic Pillar 01

Rural Territory Revitalization.

Revitalizing territories, identifying assets, and modeling agricultural and land dynamics using AI to counter the loss of attractiveness and rural exodus.

Focus
Land Modeling
Methods
AI · GIS
01
Strategic Pillar 02

Smart Cities & Urban Intelligence.

Optimizing network organization, planning land use, and steering policies for mobility and inclusive housing in Algerian urban centers.

Focus
Urban Systems
Methods
IoT · Data
02
Strategic Pillar 03

Climate Modeling & Risk Forecasting.

Cross-referencing climate and environmental data to model risks — floods, drought — and adapt territories to climatic uncertainties.

Focus
Risk Models
Methods
RS · ML
03
Strategic Pillar 04

Resource Diagnostics & Sustainability.

Precise diagnostics and sustainable management models for water, soil, and biodiversity in the face of current environmental pressures.

Focus
Ecosystems
Methods
Geomatics
