Geodesy tangible: Successful campaign days in Altötting 2024

meaning of geodesy for the future

The Bavarian Week of Geodesy 2024, which took place in July 17th to 21st all over Bavaria, is not only a highlight for technology and geography enthusiasts, but also plays a fundamental role in the creation of awareness of modern technologies and its use in everyday life. At this annual event, numerous campaign days were organized that offered the participants an insight into the promising professional field of geodesy.

interest in innovative professional fields

A particularly successful day of action was held on July 5, 2024 in Altötting, in which around 150 students and interested parties had the chance to get to know the exciting world of geodesy. This event was organized by the Office for Rural Development (Ale) Upper Bavaria and took place at the König-Karlmann-Gymnasium. This shows that interest in new professions and technologies in young people is growing. Digitization and innovative approaches are becoming increasingly important in today's professional world.

Diverse career opportunities in geodesy

The geodesy that deals with the measurement and illustration of the earth is essential for many applications such as GPS, navigation systems and 3D city models. Occupational names such as surveying engineers, geoinformatists and geomatics are often mentioned, but many students hadn't heard much about these fields of study before. The Bavarian Week of Geodesy offers an important platform here to inform young people about the diverse training and study opportunities.

practical learning and exchange of experiences

During the campaign day, visitors had the opportunity to talk to experts from practice and to take part in practical activities. The employees of Ale Oberbayern gave valuable insights into everyday work and the various areas of responsibility in geodesy. The discussions showed that students in particular have optimal conditions for a career in this area with an interest in mathematics, physics and spatial imagination.

Discover the fascination of geodesy

The attractiveness of this science was particularly emphasized by the exhibition of measuring instruments such as the tachymeter. Many of the younger participants took the opportunity to try out these devices themselves and demonstrate their skills in the field of distance measurement. Such practical experiences not only promote interest in geodesy, but can also be crucial for the career choice of young people.

training and courses in Bavaria

For young people who are interested in a career in geodesy, Bavaria offers numerous opportunities. Universities such as the Technical University of Munich and other universities offer specialized courses in geodesy and geoinformatics. Combined study and training offers, such as dual studies at Ale Upper Bavaria, help to link theory and practice sensibly and open interesting career prospects in various areas.

conclusion and outlook

The Bavarian Week of Geodesy has sparked the interest of many young people for this fascinating science. With many new impressions and possibly clearer ideas about the professional path you want to take, the participants left the event. Klaus Fredrich from Ale Upper Bavaria is convinced that this findings and experiences will shape the young people sustainably and that they may soon choose training opportunities in geodesy.
