Symposium: Cross-Border Education for Global Geo-Information
Location: ITC Enschede
02 - 04 June 2010
The International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), recently integrated in the University of Twente, hosts a symposium about Cross-Border Education for Global Geo-Information in june.
The spatial processes affecting the sustainable development of
our living environment are of a supra-national and even a global
scale. Geo-ICT plays an increasing role in the management of these
processes. We also see the development of global delivery networks
for Geo-ICT products and services. Partners in these chains must
have a common understanding of the specifications and conditions
for product and service delivery.
Young people in particular should be stimulated to choose for a
professional career in this field. They should form part of an
international professional community ready to engage and
collaborate with their highly qualified and experienced colleagues
for life-long learning.
International partnerships and consortia for cross border
education provide a new setting for the education in this context.
Web-based education and distance learning approaches and e-delivery
of educational services are developing very fast. Partnerships for
developing of international curricula require the possibility of
the transfer of credit points between educational institutions.
More information is available on the ITC website.
