We had a great turn out to the annual GRI Holiday Party! Nearly forty GRI staff, students, family, and friends came for an afternoon of sun, lemonade, BBQ, pavlova, and secret Santa.

On 1 December 2026, the Geospatial Research Institute (with the support of IEEE, IFT, and GRSS) is hosting a public event at the University of Canterbury to showcase and celebrate the contributions of women in Geospatial Information Science and Technology.

It was a busy week in early September for the GRI Team who attended the FOSS4G Conference in Hiroshima, Japan.
