GIS & Spatial Decision Support Partner for Positive Energy District Projects
Assistant Professor at Aalborg University
Aalborg, Denmark
About
We are the Geoinformatics and Earth Observation research group at Aalborg University's Department of Sustainability and Planning, led by Prof. Jamal Jokar Arsanjani. The group works across GIS Science, Remote Sensing, Spatial Data Infrastructure, Spatial Decision Support Systems, Citizen Science, and AI, applied to urban and environmental sustainability challenges.
We are a funded partner in PRISE (Positive eneRgy dIstrict Step ahEad), a DUT Partnership project (2026–2028) with 9 partners across 8 countries. In PRISE, we co-develop the project's spatial decision support tool, supporting the integration of Positive Energy Districts into city-wide heating, cooling, and decarbonisation strategies.
What we offer a new consortium:
-
Extensive, hands-on GIS analysis across multi-scale urban and environmental datasets
-
Proven capability building spatial decision support tools, from research through deployment
-
Local private and public partner connections relevant to PED, including Green Hub Denmark, Port of Aalborg, and Vesthimmerland Municipality
-
Experience delivering within large, multi-country Horizon Europe / DUT consortia
-
Academic capacity for methodology development, data integration, and evaluation work packages
We're keen to join DUT Call 2026 proposals under the Positive Energy Districts pathway, particularly where a spatial/GIS-based decision-support component is needed — e.g. energy system flexibility planning, integrated technology assessment, or district-scale spatial analysis. Open to discussing fit with cities, utilities, or other academic/industry partners building a consortium.
