Our Journey
2008 - Establishment
The Geomatics Engineering Society (GES) was officially established under the Department of Geomatics Engineering at Kathmandu University as a student-led platform to enhance technical and professional skills.
2009–2015 - Early Development
GES began organizing technical trainings, seminars, and interaction programs. The society focused on building a strong foundation in GIS, surveying, and spatial technologies among students.
2016–2020 - Expansion & Engagement
The society expanded its activities with workshops, fieldwork, competitions, and collaborations. Student participation increased significantly, and GES became more active within and beyond the university.
2021–2023 - Digital Transformation
GES adapted to online platforms during global disruptions, organizing webinars, virtual trainings, and mapathons while continuing technical engagement in GIS and remote sensing.
2024–Present - Innovation & Leadership
GES continues to grow as a hub for innovation, hosting workshops, outreach programs, and national-level events like NEPGEOM. The society actively promotes leadership, collaboration, and real-world application of geomatics.
Our Community & Project Impact
Our members actively engage in projects, competitions, and field activities that apply geomatics skills to real-world problems. From mapping local terrains to environmental monitoring and community-based initiatives, we create meaningful learning experiences and contribute to our department and society.
