Congratulations to the 2021 Esri Young Scholar Award Winners

Saluting the inspiring work they have done!

Coordinated by Esri's international distributors and Esri's international and education teams, the Esri Young Scholars Award program was launched in 2012, and winners are honored each year at the  Esri User Conference . In 2021, the User Conference, and the celebration for the Young Scholars, was conducted virtually.

The program recognizes the exemplary work of current undergraduate and graduate students majoring in geospatial science disciplines at international universities. Winning entries are selected by a university panel formed by Esri's distributor in the recipient's respective country. Award winners are celebrated in front of the more than 50,000 GIS professionals expected to attend the 2021 Esri User Conference. Congratulations to each of the 2021 Esri Young Scholars!
