Grow the Initiative

Have an idea that uses geospatial data to solve a problem, explore a question, or build something new? Whether you’re analyzing satellite imagery, building a machine learning model, or mapping environmental change, we would love to help you launch your project here and collaborate with others.

To get started, fill out the form below with key details about your project’s goals and needs, as well as how far along in the process you are (any point in the timeline works!). Projects are reviewed for credibility and accordance with our guidelines before being published to the community hub. Once added, you’ll have full administrative control to add to your project page and connect with others on the site!

Ethical and Respectful Practices

 Projects must respect privacy, data ownership, and social and cultural contexts. Work involving sensitive or personal data must follow ethical standards.

Transparent Data and Methodology

 Projects must clearly state their data sources and methodologies to ensure reproducibility and trust.

QuantAtlas Initiative projects are entirely open-source, with all code publicly available on GitHub for transparency and collaboration. In addition, members are invited to a community-wide Discord server where they can make connections, exchange ideas, and collaborate on solutions.
