[Ica-osgeo-labs] Launch of University of Gloucestershire Open Geospatial Lab

[Suchith Anand]

On behalf of the global ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs network, we are pleased to announce  the launch of University of Gloucestershire Open Geospatial Lab (GOGL)

The University of Gloucestershire has an ambitious vision for open source geospatial education and research, a vision that will be driven and delivered through GOGL, a collaboration between the University's Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI) http://www.ccri.ac.uk   and its School of Natural and Social Sciences.  The lab is led by Dr Robert Berry and will continue to develop, strong links with other organisations and individuals from both within and outside of the University, and we encourage anyone with an interest in this initiative to contact Rob at osgeolab at glos.ac.uk

The labs's website and details are at  http://insight.glos.ac.uk/FACULTIES/AS/OSGEOLAB/Pages/default.aspx

We look forward to working with colleagues at  the University of Gloucestershire for building future research collaborations and to promote the message of the "Geo for All"  http://www.geoforall.org   initiative.
