The meeting was organised under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, and was conducted in hybrid mode. BRICS comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa and promotes cooperation in science, technology and innovation. Geospatial technologies involve the collection, analysis and use of location-based data through tools such as Remote Sensing, GNSS, GIS and digital mapping. The meeting focused on geospatial infrastructure, climate resilience, AI-based geospatial analytics, positioning, navigation and timing technologies, and data interoperability. Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system used to capture, store, analyse and display spatial data.
