Missing Maps Mapathon at the Department of Geography

6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Come and support the work of Médecins Sans Frontières by helping to map places that are threatened by humanitarian crises in OpenStreetMap.

Members of Missing Maps Brno help out at various mapathons in the Czechia, Slovakia, and elsewhere in the world. It's time for the mapathon to take place again on their home turf - at Masaryk University. The mapathon will be held in a hybrid way. Those who wish to join online will receive a link via e-mail.

At the mapathon, we will create a map in OpenStreetMap of one of the places where Médecins Sans Frontières operates based on satellite images. Eva Adamová, a member of Médecins Sans Frontières, will tell us about her experiences directly from missions in the field.
