According to the announcement of the Week of the #GIEducation , it aims at bringing together teachers, experts, practitioners and students to present and discuss recent advances in GI-education and think about GI-education for the future. That’s why different GI-related projects EO4GEO, GEOBIZ, SEED4NA and Spider, under the umbrella of Erasmus+ programme, have organised a week for sharing experiences and thoughts about the future of GI-education.

The event will take place every afternoon, from January 25th to 28th, from 15.00 to 17.00, and it is organised in different thematic sessions gathering different experts.
