Rotterdam

Our host city is Rotterdam, which lies on the west coast of The Netherlands. The main port of Europe is located here. With 580,603 inhabitants, Rotterdam is the second largest city of The Netherlands. The culture and history of Rotterdam is explored on many websites including Wikipedia and the city website also is an interesting source of information. Rotterdam will serve as the European Youth Capital in 2009 and this theme will be visible during GSDI 11. Many public organizations and companies in Rotterdam apply geo information innovatively and it will be possible to see and experience some of these innovations during social events.
