Some strategic national initiatives for the Swedish education in the geodata field
(2014) 17th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science, 2014- Abstract
- This paper describes national cooperation in Sweden launched by its universities and authorities, aimed at improving geodata education. These initiatives have been focused upon providing common access to geodata, the production of teaching materials in Swedish and organizing annual meetings for teachers. We argue that this type of cooperation is vital to providing high quality education for a poorly recognized subject in a country with a relatively small population.
