Recent progress in (geo)sciences in the field of open source and free geospatial software and data has increased demands on knowledge and skills about data collection and quality, geospatial analyses, geovisualisation, and dissemination. The GeoSpatial Summer School (G3S) primary focus is to provide and transfer new geosciences skills, techniques and knowledge from scholars/experts to the students. The summer schools offer a unique opportunity for the encounter of students, scholars, and experts in the field of geospatial open source technologies and data. The summer schools are designed to guide students through the entire process of geoinformation project workflow - from data collection, data management, spatial analyses, geovisualisation, to modern presentation of the results. It strives to establish a platform for participants to bring their experiences, ideas, data and projects to share, work, present and discuss it.
The students will acquire following competences : - the geoinformation project workflow - from data collection, data management, through data analyses and visualisation to presentation of the results. - the use of free and open source software and data (with the use of OSGeo-live compact package).
