An expert panel discussion on achievements, current areas of rapid scientific progress, prospects, and critical gaps in geospatial health was organized as part of the 16thsymposium of the global network of public health and earth scientists dedicated to the development of geospatial health (GnosisGIS), held at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente in The Netherlands in November 2023. The symposium consisted of a three-day scientific event that brought together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and health professionals from across the globe. The aim of the panel session was threefold: firstly, to reflect on the main achievements of the scientific discipline of geospatial health in the past decade; secondly, to identify key innovation areas where rapid scientific progress is currently made and thirdly, to identify critical gaps and associated research and education priorities to move the discipline forward.
