We are especially interested in hearing from universities and research groups who have focus on Big Data research to establish Open Source Geospatial Labs to rapidly expand their research and teaching building on Open Principles (Open Data, Open Software, Open standards, Open Access to Research publications etc).
- Transport Science & Applications
- Environment and Climate Science
- Urban Data Science

Subject: [UTSG] Inviting more UK universities to join and expand Open Geospatial Science
Colleagues,
Starting from nothing, 4 years back our aim was to establish 5 Open Source Geospatial labs in 5 years globally. Today we have established 7 Open Source Geospatial Labs established in universities in the UK alone
* University of Newcastle
* University College London
* University of South Wales
* University of Southampton
* University of Warwick
* University of Gloucestershire
* University of Nottingham
We thank all our colleagues whose efforts made this possible. This will ensure that all these universities will lead in providing world class research and teaching in Geospatial Science for the future. We want all of them to be centres of innovation bringing together academics, industry and government organisations to collaborate and build up Open Principles in Geospatial Science.
We welcome more universities in the UK to join and expand our collaborations. Please contact our Europe chairs Professor Maria Brovelli ( Email: [log in to unmask] ) and Dr Peter Mooney (Email- [log in to unmask] ) and they will be pleased to guide you.
Best wishes,
Suchith
