www.giscience.it is a project focused on GIScience. The initiative, born in early 2003 after an original idea of Ezio Crestaz and Anna Spinaci, has been addressing the increasing demand for high quality learning support in the emerging field of geographical information applications development and analysis, while trying to extend the debate on GIScience and its applications in the environmental and socio-economic fields. High academic and professional profiles of project staff guarantees quality targets.
All courses programms promoted in previous editions are still available online at web site Courses section. Members section, freely available after registration, provides original contributes (papers, M.Sc. and Phd theses) and Web resources references (education, job, web sites of interest and events) relevant to GIScience.
