<P class=MsoNormal>The Summer School in Open Source GIS is organized jointly by the Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing Centre (SIGTE) of the University of Girona (Spain), the Lahti Centre of Aalto University School of Science and Technology of the Aalto University (Finland), the Centre for Geospatial Science (CGS) of the University of Nottingham (UK) and the Institute for Research on Urban Sciences and Techniques (IRSTV) from the Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France).</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The key aims of the Open Source GIS Summer School are:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal># To act as a platform for free and open source geospatial teaching, learning and collaboration.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal># To provide practical and hands on experience to the participants in the use of free and open source geospatial software. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal># To enable participants to understand concepts of cartographic representation, spatial data integration, spatial analysis, designing spatial databases, web mapping, etc. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal># To demonstrate the development of the key stages of a GIS project using free and open source software. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal># To enable the participants to implement a full GIS stack with free and open source geospatial technologies. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal># To develop expertise in multi-disciplinary theoretical and applied research using Open Source Geospatial technologies.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The program also aims to have an impact beyond from the following:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>– Transferable skills development in project management, team working, presentation skills etc which will help the students in the development of their research and future career.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>– To enable participants to gain relevant skills to undertake open source geospatial research and development in collaboration with international partners to ensure world-class and globally relevant outcomes.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>– Engage in outreach activities to ensure early and broad dissemination of results and encourage wide engagement between Summer School outcomes and community up-take.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The course is particularly aimed at postgraduate and doctoral students from a wide range of disciplines such as civil engineering, regional planning, geography, transportation studies, computer science, management etc. We welcome applications from all interested students but funding is only available for selected participants coming from the organizing institutions.</P>
