Geomatics n.

Where the geographical sciences meet mathematics and information technology...
Geomatics, a field at the service of the community offering a wide range of applications.

Since it was founded in 1941, ENSG-Geomatics has trained more than 11,000 students from 80 countries in geographic information technologies and their use in decision-making.

The school provides training for all professionals involved in geographic information technologies and their use throughout the public and private sectors.

The ENSG-Géomatique is a graduate school of the French National Institute for Geographic and Forestry Information (IGN), a public institution under the dual supervision of the Ministries of Ecological Transition and Agriculture. The school is located at the heart of the Cité Descartes, a university campus located just a few minutes from Paris, in Champs-sur-Marne (department 77). 

The teaching provided at ENSG focuses on technologies for acquiring and processing geographic information, its integration into databases and geographic information systems, and its use in decision-making. This theoretical teaching is supplemented by numerous internships, including internships abroad and in France, as well as a hands-on internship in the field, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region.
