The University of Malta in collaboration with University College London (UCL) is proud to announce this year’s *International Summer School in Geographic Information Systems (GIS)*, which will run on the last week of July. The Summer School will provide participants with the opportunity to run a GIS project through the learning process of ‘building blocks’- from data collection and integration of base mapping to analysis and queries. Participants will learn the concepts of Geographic Information, Spatial Analysis and Map Visualisation. This makes the content appropriate for both novice and/or regular GIS users. The Summer School will run for a period of 1 week in Malta, and will focus on application of GIS in transport planning and health planning, using low cost GIS package (Manifold GIS) and also open geodata (OpenStreetMap data) in addition to commercial and governmental data sources. The participants will be engaged in lectures and practical sessions for 6 hours a day for 5 days at the main University Campus in Msida. By the end of the Summer School participants will be able to apply GIS in their field of expertise using the skills acquired during the projects. For the course brochure and registration form kindly visit our website http://www.fis.com.mt/gis. Registration deadline is the 10th June 2009.
