DEPRIMAP participated in the 2025 Nordic Workshop on AI for Climate Change, held in Gothenburg, Sweden. Stefanos Georganos presented on the role of AI and geospatial methods in addressing urban inequality under climate stress, showcasing work on thermal discomfort mapping, population estimation, and infrastructure access in Sub-Saharan African cities. The workshop fostered valuable dialogue across disciplines and opened new doors for Nordic collaborations on AI for urban resilience.
At JURSE 2025 in Tunisia, the DEPRIMAP team presented new research on scalable urban deprivation mapping using open geospatial datasets. The study, rooted in collaboration from the 2024 Switzerland workshop, showcased a composite deprivation score framework tested in Nairobi and validated across eight global cities. The presentation introduced extended cross-city comparisons and laid out future directions, including new indicators, refined thresholds, and open-source tools.
