We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming joint EUREF and EuroSDR workshop, "Georeferencing in the Digital Era 2025". In an increasingly digital world, the accuracy and usability of geospatial data depend on effective georeferencing. This workshop will focus on addressing challenges such as missing metadata, complex reference frames, and inconsistent standards that hinder seamless data integration and cross-border collaboration. The complexity of reference frames gives too many options and creates confusion among users. 

Georeferecing in a digital era 2025 poster

Discussion Topics Include:

• Automated Handling of Reference Frames: Users should not have to manually select the correct system.
• Improved Metadata Management: Machine-readable standards for time and coordinate references.
• Harmonization at the European Level: Unified reference frames and clearer standards.

We are also very interested in hearing about your needs for future reference frames. Your insights will be invaluable in shaping the direction of our efforts and ensuring that our solutions meet the evolving requirements of the geospatial community.

Simplifying georeferencing is the key to success for accurate, efficient and user-friendly geospatial data in the digital age.
