Training in Open Source GIS

Training in Open Source GIS
March to June 2012
University of Geneva, Carouge

The University of Geneva in collaboration with UNEP/GRID-Geneva are pleased to announce a continuing education training on Open Source GIS that will be held in spring 2012.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software have become extremely popular since global mapping services became available through the Web and mobile phones.

This continued education course aims at presenting and discussing major open-source desktop GIS solutions. Participants will acquire the necessary knowledge to start working autonomously using the presented software. They will also learn some basics on spatial databases and automated geoprocessing. About half of this training will consist of practicals in a computer classroom.
