OLGENAS International Geolympiad is an annual event organized by the Faculty of Geography at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). The 2027 edition of OLGENAS will once again focus on the field of geography, offering a platform for middle and high school students to enhance their academic competitiveness, engage in healthy and critical competition, and develop their affective, cognitive, and psychomotor skills—three key domains used to measure educational success. First held in 2006, OLGENAS has established itself as a pioneer of geography olympiads in Indonesia. In 2027, we proudly celebrate our 22nd year by taking the competition to an international level, expanding our reach to inspire more young minds and promote a geographical lens on contemporary global issues. OLGENAS International Geolympiad 2027 will be held entirely offline at the Faculty of Geography, Universitas Gadjah Mada.
This theme focuses on the use of modern technological advancements in mapping to support sustainable regional development. By integrating advanced technologies such as GeoAI, remote sensing, IoT, and Big Data, smart mapping produces informative, interactive, and data-rich maps that support strategic, location-based decision-making. Through geospatial-based strategies, regional development can promote economic growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance community well-being while maintaining environmental sustainability and preserving natural resources for future generations.
