DANSER Returns to the University of Salzburg’s GIScience Classroom

Following the lecture held during the summer semester, DANSER returned to the University of Salzburg on 28 October 2025 for a second session with M.Sc. students in Applied Geoinformatics.

Once again presented within the lecture “Landscape Ecological Findings through the Lens of Geoinformatics: The Projects DANSER, SELINA, and SpongeCity”, the session used DANSER as a practical example of how GIScience can contribute to addressing environmental challenges.

Students explored current sediment balance issues in the Danube River Basin and were introduced to DANSER’s objectives and digital platform concept, highlighting the potential of spatial data and geoinformatics tools to support sustainable sediment management.

By bringing DANSER into the classroom for a second semester, the activity reinforced the connection between the project’s research and academic education, helping students relate theoretical GIScience approaches to real-world environmental applications.
