#10_years_after: few #EU_Tempus projects have been able to sustain outcomes in the long run. Not only did #GE-UZ successfully implement an MSc in Geoinformatics (also) at the National University of Uzbekistan, but top students now are offered a double degree option with the University of Salzburg 🎓

Geospatial as an enabling perspective - a quick reading recommendation: www.edparsons.com/2025/05/why-...

Why Uber is not Geo-Taxi!

For years, the geospatial industry has grappled with an identity crisis, often resorting to a rather peculiar linguistic habit: slapping “Geo-” in front of any technology term remotely …

Congrats to ⁠the authors of this VERY important new article, focusing on a more inclusive, next-generation approach to higher ed #GIS & #GIScience education

"Rethinking GIScience Education in an Age of Disruptions" is #OpenAccess from onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

#geosky #gischat

Ternary chart from the article of the general foci of GIS/GIScience courses with varying emphasis on GIS as a tool, GIScience concepts, or topics and applications. Courses near the middle blend all three foci, while those on the edges focus on two, and those at the points focus on one. Note: Exact placement of courses on the chart varies according to how instructors design and teach their courses. Therefore, placement is intended to be for general and illustrative purposes only.

In a time of technological and societal disruptions, GIScience education should maintain a focus on who, what, and why courses and content are being taught, while GIScience pedagogy should center on problem-based learning, be open and accelerate open science, and cultivate ethical reasoning and practices.
