>additional I took part in the UNIGIS Postgraduate Studies. In 2008 I

>education as well as geoeducation). I'm responsible for coordinating
>educational activities of our Centre - those focused on geoinformation
>(we are one of the ICA-OsGeo Labs) but also environmental and science
>education (for example an international GLOBE Program www.globe.gov).
>I'm a GI trainer and curriculum developer. In 2014 I was elected as a
>vice-president of the EUROGEO (European Association of Geographers) -
>international NGO widely promoting use of geoinformation, in particular
>open data and open source software, not only among geographers but also
>people involved in related disciplines.
