Bio

My name is Marco Minghini. I studied at Politecnico di Milano where I got a BSc in Environmental Engineering in 2008, an MSc in Environmental and Geomatics Engineering in 2010 and a PhD in Environmental and Infrastructures Engineering (Geomatics curriculum) in 2014. From 2014 to July 2018 I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the GEOlab of Politecnico di Milano, where my research was in the field of GIS and included topics such as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Citizen Science, geo-crowdsourcing, Land Use/Land Cover mapping and geo-visualization. Since August 2018 I work as a Scientific Project Officer and Policy Analyst at the European Commission - Joint Research Center (JRC), Directorate "Digital Transformation and Data" - Unit "Data Governance and Services", where I make applied research on (geospatial) data sharing policies, including coordinating the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive.

All my research is done using open source software. I am a Charter Member of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), Chair of ISPRS ICWG IV/III/II "Openness in Geospatial Science and Remote Sensing". I am a regular presenter at FOSS4G global, European and national conferences; I was the Secretary of FOSS4G Europe 2015, Co-chair of the Academic Track at FOSS4G 2022, FOSS4G 2023, FOSS4G Europe 2024 and FOSS4G Europe 2025. From 2018 to 2021 I have been a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Open Geospatial Data, Software and Standards.

OpenStreetMap is not just part of my research work, but also my free time. I love mapping (my OSM username is mingo23), I love speaking and teaching about OSM and even more I love organizing mapping events. In late 2016 I helped in the foundation of PoliMappers, the first European chapter of the YouthMappers worldwide network of university students. In February 2017 I became a Voting Member of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Since November 2017 I am a proud Member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Since 2018 I am a member of the OSM Foundation State of the Map Organizing Committee. I was the Co-Chair of the Academic Track at State of the Map 2018, State of the Map 2019, State of the Map 2020, State of the Map 2021, State of the Map 2022, State of the Map Europe 2023, State of the Map 2024 and State of the Map 2025.

Applications developed

  • A set of Python modules for GRASS GIS to compare OpenStreetMap against authoritative road network datasets. The scripts allow users to perform customized analysis to evaluate the completeness and geometrical accuracy of the OSM road dataset using any (user-provided) reference dataset. This is an ongoing work. The most up-to-date version of the code is available here, while a Web Processing Service exposing the procedure (currently only Step 1 of 3) is available here.
