Exhibition "30 Years of MiraMon" at de the Science and Technology Library
In the final exhibition of the year, the Science and Technology Library is once again lending its display cases, this time to showcase the evolution of information systems and remote sensing through the experience of the MiraMon program, the first and only GIS created entirely in Catalan.
This exhibition commemorates the thirtieth anniversary of the creation of MiraMon, a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing program, developed entirely in Catalan at the UAB and CREAF since 1994.
GIS and remote sensing facilitate the easier handling of geospatial data, and the analysis and visual representation of this data enable a much more precise and continuous view and management of the territory.
The first lines of code for the MiraMon program were written in 1988, but it wasn't until 1994 that it became a Windows application used for scientific, educational, and environmental management purposes.
MiraMon is developed cooperatively by different members of the Consolidated Research Group GRUMETS, who belong to CREAF and the UAB. Currently, the program is distributed for free and, on a general scale, is used by over 200,000 people in 41 different countries.
In this exhibition, which can be visited at the entrance of the Science and Technology Library until Friday, December 20, you will find the evolution of cartography, GIS, and remote sensing over the last 30 years and how MiraMon has accompanied these changes.
We look forward to seeing you there!
