After the final reading and approval of the security and defence deal with the US by the Greenlandic Parliament (Inatsisartut) last week, Denmark’s parliament (Folketinget) will also conduct its final reading and subsequent vote on the agreement on Thursday, November 19th.
Also happening on Thursday is the geodata conference, Geoforum, taking place in Aalborg. The conference is for everyone who works professionally on geographic information and data, with attendance expected from private companies, public institutions, researchers, educators, and private individuals. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the conference, and to celebrate, up to 500 participants will attempt to take what they call a “space selfie”. They will gather outside for a photo shoot that will involve a satellite orbiting 600 kilometers above. The photo process will also involve aircraft, drones, thermal cameras, and 360-degree cameras, serving as a demonstration of various geospatial technologies. They will gather at 11:45 and the 'camera' satellite is expected to pass over Aalborg at 12:09.
