<div>Hi Folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>QGIS are interested in learning more about how open source
GIS is used in universities and the public sector. I'm sending
this on behaf of Kurt Menke, of the QGIS Trainer Network. I
hope I can reach out to UK public sector bodies and
contractors for the public sector who are using open source
GIS (including, but not only QGIS) with this survey,
particually focusing on training in and for the public
sector. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They want to develop teaching standards, best practices,
syllabi and educational materials tailored to practical needs.
They also want to know your current challenges and what could
be done to overcome them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The survey is online at <a moz-do-not-send="true"

They would like responses by the end of April 2026. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The results will be presented during the QGIS User
Conference 2026 in Laax, Switzerland (October 5-6, 2026).</div>
