The deadline has sadly passed to join me in Salzburg in February 2013, but there will be other opportunities...
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is software that is already widely used in all sorts of businesses such as industry and public services and they are rapidly emerging in several aspects of society and still gaining importance (examples are GPS and digital maps). In order to offer students the best opportunities to succeed in our future society, the iGuess partners decided to join forces to create a course. All project partners add their own specific expertise to the iGuess consortium.
Hence, the expertise gathered in the project covers a broad, unique, range of fields.
If you complete our course, you will be issued an educational GIS Certificate, to which licenses for
GIS software will be linked.
Besides your newly acquired GIS skills, you will take home the necessary software to be able to develop your own exercises and use them in your classroom.
