Geospatial team Open Source contribution recognised

The Geospatial group within CESER are offically an OSGEO lab, and thus part of a growing number of universites globally to hold such a title. Only those universities and departments which can showcase extensive work, skills and experience in the use of open source tools and software for geospatial related research are awarded the title. The title/gorup comes after a  memorandum of understanding was signed between the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) in 2011. For more information on the memorandum, follow this link

As part of becoming a OSGEO lab, we have also developed a new website to showcase our related work. This can be found at http://research.ncl.ac.uk/osgeolab/
