The University of the Philippines Society of Geodetic Engineering Majors (UP GEOP), a recognized academic and socio-civic organization based at the College of Engineering, University of the Philippines Diliman, proudly presents GEOPOTENTIAL 2025: “METRO: Shaping Better Cities Through Geomatics.”
Now in its 8th year, GEOPOTENTIAL continues its legacy of promoting awareness and appreciation for the field of Geodetic Engineering among the youth. The event will be held on November 8, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the UP School of Economics (UPSE) Auditorium, located at Osmeña Avenue corner Guerrero Street, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City.
GEOPOTENTIAL 2025 aims to highlight the crucial role of geomatics in shaping sustainable and smarter cities. The event will begin with a series of expert talks introducing aspiring engineering students to the diverse and expansive career paths within Geodetic Engineering. The four talks will cover Introduction to Geodetic Engineering, Geomatics and Smart Cities, Surveying in the City, and Geomatics and Urban Planning. These sessions are designed to inspire young minds and broaden their understanding of how geospatial technology supports urban development and efficient city planning.
Following the talks, participants will have the opportunity to witness an Instrument Demonstration, showcasing the primary tools and equipment used by geodetic engineers in the field. The event will conclude with a Quiz Bee, where students can apply and test their newly acquired knowledge.
Through GEOPOTENTIAL 2025, UP GEOP continues to advance its mission of shaping the next generation of youth by introducing them to Geodetic Engineering and helping them prepare for their careers. The organization also fosters appreciation for geomatics as a vital discipline in building better, smarter, and more resilient cities.
