MissionMaking Geospatial
education accessible to all
“Geo for All”
![Page 3: Building Open Geospatial Science Network, Suchith Anand, University of Nottingham](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051322/53fb7c698d7f729c2e8b585f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why?Very few universities/educational institutions in developing/poor countries currently are able to teach Geospatial Science courses
High cost of softwareLack of skilled staffLack of freely available training materials

OS Geo Product development statistics 2008
Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) established in Feb 2006
OSGeo is the leader of Open Source Geospatial and high impact community

Why - Social ResponsibilityMaking resources including software and
data openly available offers an opportunity for knowledge to be shared widely so as to
increase learning opportunities.
Example – Collaborating with educational initiatives like gvSIG Batoví

Aims of ICA-OSGeo Labs Initiative
• Establishing research and training opportunities in open source GIS
• Build teaching and research infrastructure worldwide
• Provide worldwide learning platform

“Geo for All” Education Initiative
Distribution ICA-OSGeo labs established in EuropeImage : OSGeoREL @NCSU (6 months back)
ICA-OSGeo MoU in Sep 2011
70 labs established worldwide as of today
North America – 13 labsEurope – 25 labsSouth America – 9 labsAfrica – 4 labsAsia – 15 labsAustralia - 1 lab
Will be establishing over 100 labs in universities worldwide by Sep 2014
![Page 12: Building Open Geospatial Science Network, Suchith Anand, University of Nottingham](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051322/53fb7c698d7f729c2e8b585f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why having a framework for Open Geospatial Science important for the
future?
Strategic levelResearchTeaching
Attracting research funding /sustainability
Social Responsibility
![Page 13: Building Open Geospatial Science Network, Suchith Anand, University of Nottingham](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051322/53fb7c698d7f729c2e8b585f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Open Geospatial Research
Geospatial Standards (for ex. OGC spec.)
Maturity of open source software (for
ex. OSGeo stack)
Open Data
Ability for showing the operation of general laws
is fundamental for scientific research
Open GIS is key for innovation in GIS
