GeodCon-26

Geodesy on the move

First National Symposium Conference on Geodesy

Advancing Geodesy for Integrated Earth Observation, Precision Positioning, and Sustainable Development


Indian National Science Academy (INSA), New Delhi     11-13 March 2026

GeodCon-26

The National Symposium Conference on Geodesy (GeodCon-26) aims to bring together researchers, academicians, professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore recent advancements in Geodetic Science and its Applications. This premier event will serve as a platform to share innovations and best practices shaping Earth observation, positioning, and navigation technologies.

The Symposium conference will highlight global and regional developments in geodesy, focusing on reference frames, Earth system monitoring, satellite and ground-based observations, and the integration of emerging tools such as AI and cloud computing in geodetic data analysis. Discussions will emphasize geodesy’s role in addressing challenges like climate change, natural hazards, groundwater monitoring, and crustal deformation.

The technical program will include tutorials by eminent experts, offering valuable insights and practical perspectives for students, researchers, and professionals. Workshops, paper and poster sessions, and expert panels will further promote interaction, skill enhancement, and collaboration among academia, government, and industry.

GeodCon-26 aspires to strengthen national geodetic capacity, foster innovation and capacity building, and position India at the forefront of global geospatial science and earth observation.


Awards and Recognition

Outstanding oral and poster presentations will be recognized with awards in each technical session of GeodCon-26, spanning themes such as global and regional reference frames, space geodetic techniques, gravity missions and geoid concepts, geodesy for Earth system and society, and advances in sensors, data processing, and AI/ML applications. Special prizes will be awarded to students for exceptional contributions, and we strongly encourage them to participate and showcase their talent.
