GIS EM IP Course Erasmus Intensive Program
Description
GIS in environmental management is an Intensive Programme funded by the EU Erasmus Program and organized by several Universities across Europe.
In 2013 it is hosted by the HNEE, University for Sustainable Development, Eberswalde GIS'EM is a yearly EU-funded Summer School that spans from 2012 to 2014. GIS'EM started 2012 in Finnland and is held 2013 in Eberswalde.
The subject of Geographical Information Systems is highly relevant to the applied science education across Europe and it is necessary to combine the expertise and knowledge on different fields of geoinformatics to educate future GI professionals. The practical applications of GIS may vary by the field of science and local conditions but the same principles, methodology and software are widely used internationally. Thus, working collaboratively with GIS in multinational groups is an important skill for future GIS professionals.
The multidisciplinary approach will offer a large variety of several GI Science applications and enable students and teachers with different educational, professional and cultural background to work together in multinational groups to gain new perspectives on the topic being studied.
Lead applicant is the Karelia University of Applied Science in corporation with HNEE, TEI of Athens, University of Agriculture of Jelgava and Hedmark College.
