Our group strives to create a safe and welcoming space for the next generation of cartographers to share work, find inspiration, and connect with each other worldwide. We're so glad you're here!
We consider early career cartographers to include students in the later stages of their education and early career academics, professionals, and cartography enthusiasts. Not an early career cartographer? More senior scholars and cartographic professionals are most welcome in NGC as advocates for and mentors to the next generation of cartographers.
This website is maintained by the Working Group Next Generation Cartographers of the International Cartographic Association (ICA).
