Born in 2006 on the initiative of the Bologna International Committee for the Cartography and the Analyses of the Contemporary World, “Mapping the World” is a Cartographic Centre working on the geopolitical transformations of the contemporary world through the most innovative cartography and multimedia technologies.

During the first three years, thanks to a contribution of the Fondazione del Monte di Bologna e Ravenna, its activity focused on the creation of a monographic dossier about Energy in the 21st century: risks, challenges, perspectives.

Our project has also implied and still implies an innovative formation activity, taking place mainly at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of Bologna University.

Thanks to this formation activity, which led to the constitution of a high-profile team of analysts and cartographers, “Mapping the World” has become a Cartographic Centre working with newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, foundations.
