The ICA-OSGeo Lab Network, MundoGEO and UN Environment Programme are now pleased to inform the first webinar in 2015 of the ”Open Geospatial Science & Applications” webinar series. This webinar will be open and free to all on first come register basis. 
This webinar will be based on more than twenty years of experience in geospatial education gathered by UNEP/GRID-Warsaw Centre. We will discuss ‘functionality vs. application’ methods applied in our geotrainings, based mainly on QGIS. Example of the ‘INSPIRE Academy’ will be used to show specific approach to development of complex geotraining programs. Webinar will include short live presentation of QGIS online course developed as a part of geospatial education program.
Webinar is dedicated to all members of geospatial community interested in development of effective geotrainings, in particular, educators working with students and trainers providing geoinformation courses for companies and individuals. It is also suitable for all professionals looking for new ways to broaden their geoskills.
Speakers: Mrs. Ela Wołoszyńska-Wiśniewska: geographer and hydrologist. Coordinator of geospatial education activities in UNEP/GRID-Warsaw Centre; Mrs. Monika Rusztecka: geographer and geoecologist. Head of the Geoinformation Unit involved in development and implementation of spatial information systems, web-based applications and geoportals as well as GIS data processing, spatial analyses and environmental data management.
Attendees will be able to interact with the speakers by sending their comments and questions through chat. All attendees of this web seminar will receive certificates for their participation.
