University of Maribor, GeoLab

GeoLab operates within the Department of Geography at the University of Maribor as a platform for interdisciplinary spatial research, education, and the development of practical solutions to environmental and territorial challenges. The laboratory brings together researchers and experts from different fields to explore the spatial dimensions of natural and social processes. By combining geographic approaches with spatial analysis and geoinformation technologies, GeoLab seeks to better understand patterns and processes that shape ecosystems, regions, and human environments.

GeoLab connects researchers, educators, planners, policy practitioners, local communities, and students in collaborative research and knowledge exchange. Its activities include interdisciplinary research, spatial analysis, teaching and training, and consultancy for public and private stakeholders. Through these activities, the laboratory supports the transfer of scientific knowledge to local, regional, and international contexts and contributes to more informed spatial planning and sustainable development.
