We are pleased to welcome you to Tartu, Estonia, for the AGILE 2026 conference.This year's theme, "Smart Data: Making geospatial data actionable," highlights the growing importance of turning geospatial data into meaningful information that can support better decisions and help address real-world challenges.At a time when vast amounts of spatial data are generated but their purpose often remains unclear, making this data usable and relevant is more important than ever.Geographic Information Science has evolved considerably over the past decades.Initially, GIS was primarily used for digital mapping and the storage and visualisation of spatial data.Over time, the field expanded to include more advanced spatial analysis, modelling, and the integration of data from diverse sources.Today, with the rapid growth of data from sensors, satellites, and usergenerated content, GIScience is increasingly concerned with handling large, complex, and dynamic datasets.This shift places greater emphasis on methods and approaches that not only manage and analyse data, but also make it accessible, interpretable, and usable in practicesupporting timely decisions and applications.
