Geospatial UK

At Geospatial UK, our aim is to broaden awareness and understanding of Geospatial skills and technologies and its applications, supported by eight industrial partners. In particular we aim to support students to the practical skills and technical knowledge to use GIS, surveying and mapping in their schoolwork and everyday lives. Based at Newcastle University, our network of industrial partners help us to inspire the next generation of geospatial experts. The recognition of the importance of geospatial data for the UK has increased across all sectors, underlined by the UK Government creating the Geospatial Commission in 2018. Geospatial UK was created to broaden awareness and understanding of geospatial skills and technologies and its applications for the future.
